Lost Dutchman State Park is located east of Phoenix in Apache Junction. It sits at the base of the Superstition Mountains, famous as the location of the lost Dutchman's gold mine. I attended a night photography workshop taught by Beth Ruggiero York through Arizona Highways Photoscapes apps.org.
It was a clear night and a little chilly as it was February. The skies were clear and we were able to capture the stars. Here is a sample of what I did. An old fashioned western looking panoramic. A vertical panoramic of the mountain and skies rising and over my head. A series of seventeen photographs stacked 30 second photographs to show the star trails. And a single forty minute photograph that captured the grace of the stars as the earth spun.
