Day to Night with Thelma and Louise (Single)
DESCRIPTION
This time-lapse composite compresses an hours-long natural experience into one magical view. In this image, I juxtapose a sunset with a starscape over the same remote spot in Utah’s Canyonlands National Park where the heroines of Thelma and Louise met their spectacular end. Using a long exposure, star tracking, and other astrophotography techniques, this approach reveals an otherwise impossible view that transcends human vision.
