Inspired by the film "HOME" by Yann Arthus-Betrand. A snapshot of the movie can be seen here.

Adobe Photoshop CS5.

Taken near Immenstadt, Bavaria, Germany while I waited for nightfall. it was a very nice day in January and it didn't take too long between sunset and the night. So I combined these two pictures, which are taken within two hours of each other. I hope you like it!

Taken near Bad Hindelang, Bavaria, Germany from the peak of the Hirschberg. It was incredible to see this scenery from there. I hiked up there at about 6 p.m. and stood for about 3 hours. Stitched together from four photographs of the landscape and four of the sky because the lightning conditions were to different. I hope you like it!

Taken in Joshua Tree National Park during last month's new moon. Visible with the naked-eye, the Milky Way can be seen stretching far overhead. Cheers.

I took this photo in the winter, north of Phoenix, Arizona. I didn't think it would turn out but you can see at least 24 stars which is nice. Obviously the entire Milky Way isn't visible that time of the year but there is a lot less chaos in the photo, as I personally prefer.

A tripod was used, as well as Adobe Lightroom.
