Joe Muscara Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Congrats, Ken! It almost makes me want to re-up our subscription. I've always liked that magazine but just don't have the time I want for it. Like Mike says, please keep us posted. Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

RichieP_MechE Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Way to go Ken! Coincidentally, one of my friends just got hired as an assistant photo editor at National Geographic. Perhaps that's a good sign! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenElevenShadows Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Ah, who knows. That sounds like a very coveted job!!! I drove over to Trona Pinnacles, this eerie set of rock formations near Ridgecrest in the Mojave Desert that used to be the bottom of a lake bed, to photograph Milky Way shots last night. Was a little farther than I remembered. This is a shot to Trona Pinnacles from the last trip two years ago that I thought I'd post. http://www.elevenshadows.com/travels/tronapinnacleskillbillchurch-2013july/images/startrails-tronapinnacles3-50min-30sf28iso400.jpg This is a 50-minute star trails shot looking north, showing the movement of the stars due to the rotation of the earth over long periods of time. The glow in the distance is the tiny town of Trona. The photo was taken in the summer of 2013, and won Best Travel Photo of the Year in the Los Angeles Times.

It's a large country, and it is really beautiful, with a lot of diversity. Here's one of the most famous places in our country, the Grand Canyon, here shown during a lightning storm, Mother Nature's light show.

That's right. I was also dangling over the canyon, hanging on to a tree branch, while taking this shot, yes I was!!!!
