We've had a great Eastern Sierra night photography workshop season! As wildfires and smoke take over, w planning for 2026.
I sold a 30" x 60" metal print of this Aurora borealis, airglow, and Milky Way arch image from May on Smugmug (my user name there is jeffsullivan).

Images from our annual "adventure" trip to Death Valley: 6 days, 5 nights of photography in more remote areas of the national park. We enjoyed dramatic weather and light including sunsets, stars / Milky Way photography in this internationally-recognized "dark sky park", wildflowers, even a rainbow!

Aurora borealis and Perseid meteors over Topaz Lake on the California/ Nevada border, night of August 11-12, 2024 (Latitude 38.7 N). We'll be watching for a moderate repeat in the coming nights. www.JeffSullivanPhotography.com #nevada #nightphotography

A lot of the dust over Mesquite Flat sand dunes in Death Valley last Sunday was blowing from Cottonball Basin, which was mined for borax. Alkali dust is ultra-fine, getting deep into your lungs. LADWP maintains shallow ponds in Owens Lake to reduce exposure in the Western U.S. to alkali dust.

The full rainbow (and part of the double) was a nice surprise to see in one of North America's driest places!

Loved Yosemite National Park last week, but we're packing to spend next week in Death Valley National Park. We're expecting rain showers, so the light, drama, and rainbows could be incredible! www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/death-valley... #nationalparks #landscapephotography #photographyworkshops

Storm light falling briefly on a mountain over Mesquite Flat sand dunes in Death Valley National Park. Fortunately I was using a Nikkor Z 28-400mm lens. If I had been walking around with a midrange or ultra-wide lens on the camera, I would have missed this! JeffSullivanPhotography.com

I tried out the Nikon Z8 with Nikkor Z 28-400mm lens in Death Valley earlier this month. Now I'm spoiled! I need to figure out how to raise the funds to upgrade to the new system.

Another view of the pool of salt water that we brought photographers in our workshop to in Death Valley this month. This salty water is the source of the salt polygons that photographers like to capture. www.JeffSullivanPhotography.com #nationalpark #landscapephotography #photographyworkshops

It's always a little faster and easier to adjust and post iPhone images using the Adobe Lightroom mobile app, so here are a few early results from Death Valley earlier this month. My Flickr account is a great place to collect them into albums: www.flickr.com/photos/jeffreysullivan/ #iphoneography

How do we know that the water table in Badwater Basin is shallow? In places the playa is frequently wet, and in other places you can see the water. We found water on the salt flats in 2008, 2011, 2015, 2019, 2020, 2023 and 2024! www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/death-valley-photography-workshop-2013/

The salt crack polygons are re-forming in Badwater Basin, Death Valley National Park. The temporary Lake Manly is gone, but the water table is shallow, just a few inches below the surface of the salt flats.

I was all set up to capture Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas setting over Mt. Whitney in the Sierra Nevada, when a Starlink satellite train popped up over Mt. Whitney and photobombed the scene.
EEELLLLONNNN (shakes fist at sky)!
