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".

For years, I've had a vision of capturing the Milky Way rising above Pu'upehe off the island of Lana'i, Hawaii. Unfortunately, without a truck load of lighting... the shot I've had in mind is just about impossible to pull off. However, by pulling pieces from the dozens of shots I took this night, and blending them together... I was able to put together a fanciful image of what I would like people to see and enjoy about this magical place in Hawaii.
