Night Images

Welcome to the Night Images gallery. A focus on night images with a sprinkling of sunrises and sunsets. This gallery is a part of Joe West Photography... specializing in evening and night photos. Really good night images are never easy to obtain. Just the fact that the photographer is, often, working in total darkness is difficult enough... then add all the technical problems of acquiring a well composed night scene. Then, try sitting out in the middle of nowhere at 2 am... waiting for the night sky to be "just right" for that magical shot. I have to admit, however, I love all these challenging factors. As the old saying goes, "If it were easy... everyone would be doing it".

This shot was taken at 10,000 feet above sea level, on the top of Haleakala Crater on the island of Maui, Hawaii. We were fortunate enough to find this sunset view of a rare Silversword plant. This exotic plant only blooms once then begins to die. They only grow in this unique and remote volcanic environment, high above the clouds, in Hawaii... and nowhere else on earth.
