Purple Playa Majesty

Real stars here--that's Cassiopeia.
Purple Playa Majesty by jurvetson.
No photoshop or color-processing…

The purple hue comes from rocket propellant bonfires & fireworks behind me. =)

Reminds me of... the song I am listening now, goes so well...
One Perfect Sunrise

Even when this is a moonrise as I read in the tags. Awesome heavenly sight (and sigh). +++

Sometimes, one has to get out of town to get the best shots. Sometimes, one needs to keep attuned to extra-ordinary situations, a merging of contexts, to capture an image that is unlike any other.

Very well-done! C'est vraiment très beau!

It's alkaline playa clay etched with car tracks.

The scale can be deceiving; my camera is about 1 foot off the ground.

Great shot! I like how the moon is composed.

This is only achievable with great gear, and your 2.8 glass does the heavy lifting on this one, but a great shot still.

Just goes to show you that you get the right guy the right gear and he can do something with it.
