This past Thursday night I left to go out to the desert here in California with one of my best friends. We took off around 8 and got there at just about 10:30 only to find that the stars were in full force. Being near Palm Springs we knew there wouldn’t be completely dark skies but I took the camera gear out anyways.
I’m stoked I took the tripod out and snapped some shots as I know these are some of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken. Using my Sony a7riii and my Rokinon 14mm lens I couldn’t say I need a better combo for the job. Enjoy this photo blog, these are some bitchin’ shots.

Every time I’ve attempted at shooting the Milky Way I was always discouraged at my photos never coming out to be worthy of just sitting back and saying “holy shit”, I think I can comfortably kick back, throw my feet up on the desk and say “holy shit.”

One of those, where the hell am I that I can have buildings and the Milky Way show an appearance? Oh yeah, this was only one photo. No stacking no adding in the foreground, just one badass shot.
