The Night Skies

Time Lapse, Cinematography, and Photography

The eclipse was one of the most rewarding experiences we've ever had! Thank you to @mountainstache and @marybethcoyne for enduring the nearly 20 miles of hiking to the spot with way too much camera equipment. Suffering is always a good idea with friends! @noahwaldron @_mountain.mermaid #eclipse2017 #grandtetonnationalpark #jacksonhole #lakesolitude #r3d #redepic #timelapse #amazing #encourage #empower #inspire #backpacking #hike (at Lake Solitude Trail)

"The spiral in a snail's shell is the same mathematically as the spiral in the Milky Way galaxy, and it's also the same mathematically as the spirals in our DNA. It's the same ratio that you'll find in very basic music that transcends cultures all over the world." Joseph Gordon-Levitt This is a frame from one of our #timelapse from the #alabamahills near #whitneyportal Shot on #nikon #d800 #rokinon14mm @kesslercrane #cinedrive and #cineslider #kesslerinthefield #brainfarmtech @brainfarm #nightphotography #milkyway #galaxy #mobiusarch #litepanels (at Alabama Hills, Lone Pine, Ca)

"Trees are poems, the earth writes upon the sky" Khalil Gibran It's #milkyway season here in North America and we've been spending some time with our eyes to the sky.

Landruk Village was the first stop on our trek to Annapurna Base Camp.. This shot was caught on a timelapse that had to be pulled due to the heavy rain that came shortly after.. #kesslercrane #secondshooter #tls #lightning #nightphotography #annapurna #trek #landruk #nikon #d800 #lodge #rain #sky #getoutside #encourage #empower #inspire @hbombtheoriginal @_mountain.mermaid #annapurnabasecamp

Ghodatabela. A small village along the Lang Tang Khola (river), and home to a National Park and Military Post, along with a couple trekking lodges. I can only imagine what life was like the day before the earthquake of April 2015... Trekkers checking in to show their permits as they grab a plate of dal bhat (national dish of rice, curried vegetables, and lentil soup) for lunch. Women cooking and working their gardens, as children play. Porters resting. Sadly this is no longer the life of Ghodatabela.... Many villages we had seen on the map, during our hike through Lang Tang, are just that, names on a map.... Their names remain as a chapter in history, a door to memories for those who knew this village before. Some of Lang Tang's villages may rise again and some may not. Remnants of Ghodatabela's lodges stand as a note on our hearts, that life is precious, beautiful, and sometimes short. We highly recommend a visit to Nepal, especially the Lang Tang Valley. Just by visiting this place you would be helping these communities tremendously! And I guarantee the greatest gift exchanged, would be the mark the Nepali people will leave on your heart... @cotopaxi @_mountain.mermaid #nepaliloveyou #ghodatapela #langtang #Nationalpark #Nepal #supportnepal #himalayas #mountain #trek #door #earthquake #landslide #dalbhat #neverstopexploring #DKTM #directionkathmandu #adventure #love #encourage #empower #inspire #rubble #nepalnow #visitnepal #wanderlust #tibet #explore #travelgram #landscape #gift #heart #culture

Machhapuchhare. A mountain that rests among giants. Though her neighbors may cast their shadows upon her, no man has gazed upon the world from her summit... Machhapuchhare is a holy mountain. Considered to be the home of Lord Shiva (the destroyer and the restorer). Machhapuchhare is off limits to climbers and has never been summited! Maybe one of the last places on Earth where man has not left his mark.. @Cotopaxi #Nikon #d800 #Machhapuchchhre #Himalayas #mountains #trekking #annapurnabasecamp #beautiful #neverstopexploring #explore #encourage #empower #inspire #cotopaxi #jhlife #shiva #hindu #destroyer #restorer

"We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more." -Pico Iyer om mani padme hum @Cotopaxi #sacredmeditation #sonya7s #nepaliloveyou #kathmandu #durbarsquare #sky #prayerwheel #prayerflags #jhlife #travel @_mountain.mermaid (at Kathmandu, Nepal)

"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished" Lao Tzu We are now back in the states after 6 weeks of trekking in Nepal. It was a life changing experience and an amazing adventure! It's quite interesting to come home and see our world with a new perception... Traveling in Nepal has been perception shattering!
