It was the middle of June. The area was still covered by deep snow
and it was extremely difficult and dangerous to reach the spot where the photo was taken.
《异常寒冷的夏夜》,意大利多洛美蒂山区
六月中旬的一个午夜, 壮丽的银河在多洛美蒂山区三峰上空升起。明亮的木星在山顶上熠熠发光。
整个区域依然被大雪覆盖,山坡上很多地方根本看不见路,非常危险。日落后一直乌云满天。
午夜时分,月落西山,奇迹出现了。天空突然开始放晴。壮丽的银河正好移动到三峰上空。

"Reflection Canyon at Night", Reflection Canyon,
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area,Utah
The full arc of the Milky Way raises over the incredible Reflection Canyon. In order to reach this
very remote canyon, I drove a speedboat across the vast Lake Powell, parked the boat near the bottom
of a cliff, climbed the cliff, and camped near the edge of the canyon. It was such an unreal experience.
The image was a stitch of tens of high-res photos taken with a medium format system with a 100
million-pixel PhaseOne digital back, mounted on a star-tracking device. The final image contains
a mind-blowing number of 600 million pixels. The result huge, 6X9 meter starscape print was one of the
biggest landscape images, if not the biggest, ever printed and installed.

"Midnight Swirl", Yukon Territory, Canada
Mysterious auroras swirl the midnight sky of this extremely remote mountain ranges near the Arctic circle.
Technique Notes: This is a very complicated shot consists of 16 exposures. Fourteen consecutive frames
using ISO 6300/f2.8/30-sec were used for focus-stacking and multi-frame-average-noise-reduction to get a high-quality,
sharp foreground image under such difficult dark conditions. The reflection was captured using ISO 12800/f2.8/8 seconds.
The aurora itself was recorded by tilting the lens to include more sky, using ISO 12800/f2.8/1-sec. The reflections
foreground, and the sky were stitched together to get the final image. The aurora was moving so fast that a slower
shutter speed would have blurred its magical shape.
《魔界午夜》 ,加拿大育空山区。
一个意外接到的电话。一次说走就走的旅行。15小时的飞机到达加拿大白马镇。直升机飞进育空山区。背负60磅的背包穿行于布满巨石的山坡。
在北极圈附近的暴风雪中露营。在五彩斑斓的北极光下就寝 。而当午夜时分,漫天梦幻神奇的北极光在这全世界最偏远的壮美群山上空一次
又一次爆发的时候,心里唯有震撼和兴奋。所有的幸苦,全都忘却于脑后。
技术细节:这是一个在极其困难的光线条件下的极其复杂拍摄过程。总共是16张大光圈曝光,用来实现景深合成,多张平均降噪,还有上下拼图。

《午夜星空》 ,美国新墨西哥州沙漠
"The Spell of Rising Moon", Yukon Territory, Canada
The moon rose after midnight over the Tombstone range. The aurora borealis show was so strong
that it drowned in bright moonlight on the sky.
Technique Notes: This is a very complicated shot. Seven frames using 14mm/ISO 1600/f2.8/30-sec,
captured consecutively within a few minutes, were used for focus-stacking so the resulting image is
tack-sharp from near to far. The aurora was relatively static on the sky so I could use a slow (30 seconds)
shutter speed to capture more light.

"Floating Mountains", Yukon Territory, Canada
I had been waiting in the freezing darkness of a cloudy night for many hours. The sky finally
opened up and the stars returned. An amazingly bright aurora borealis light belt, which almost
perfectly mirrored the profile of the mountains below, magically floated on the night sky, moving
and dancing. It was a privilege to capture this incredible natural phenomena that lasted only a
few seconds.
Technique Notes: This is very simple and straightforward blend of two shots, one (11mm, ISO 6400, f4, 4 seconds)
for the sky and aurora, and the other (11mm, ISO 6400, f11, 4 minutes) for the ground.
《浮山魅影》 ,加拿大育空山区。
在北极圈附近的那个寒夜里,天空阴云密布。我在黑暗中慢慢地,耐心地等待。凌晨一点,繁星
终于重现。一条明亮的北极光光带,悬浮于奥吉尔维山脉的上方。光带的形状恰似山脉的轮廓。
这难以置信的神奇现象只持续了数秒钟, 但我永远不会忘记那一刻。

黄石国家公园拥有全世界最著名的地热景观和全世界大多数间歇泉,吸引了来自全世界的无数游客。可是,
极少有人能有幸目睹璀璨星空下的温泉喷发。感谢小女陪我去荒郊看星空。半夜我们全家来到公园里一个
偏远的角落。在荒寂的原野,四周寂静,只能听到温泉突突的声音。我们站在这个美丽的白色间歇泉前等
待。午夜时分,在满天震撼人心的繁星之下,喷泉突然喷发,奔腾的水汽怒吼地直冲云霄。短短一分钟后,
又回归平静,仿佛一切从没有发生。

Crater Lake是火山口形成的湖泊,是美国最深的湖泊(约600米深),也是全世界最干净的湖泊。湖里的水全部来自雪水和雨水,没有
河流带来的泥沙和污染。但这深似海洋的湖泊,偏偏又位于海拔2000米的高山顶上。五月中旬的山下已经是摄氏三十多度的酷暑夏日,
但山上依然是白雪皑皑,大部分道路被数米厚的积雪覆盖,没法通行。为了探索拍摄角度,我只能在雪地里徒步跋涉。天黑之后,所有
游客全部散去,停车场上只剩我一人。 午夜寂静时分,一个人在高山之巅独自享受这样的寂静的雪山,深邃的湖泊和璀璨的星空,感
觉异常奇妙。

"Under the Spinning Stars", New Mexico, USA
I actually conceived this picture in my mind years before I got a chance to shoot it.
When I saw these fantastic hoodoos in the desert of New Mexico that match the foreground
that I'd been dreaming for, I just had to pull the trigger.
The star trails were the result of stacking seven 20-minutes-exposures together (to reduce the long-exposure noise).
To illuminate the foreground, a Canon 580EX speedlite with double CTO gels was fired strategically about a dozen times.

On this summer night, I was alone on the shore of a glacier lake near the top of the famed Broken Top mountain.
Heat waves and the hustle and bustle of life were only a few hours away but seemed so remote.
I was totally enveloped by the cool air and the tranquil light of the full moon.
《仲夏夜之梦》 ,美国俄勒岗州三姐妹山区。
盛夏之夜,我独自一人露宿于冰川湖边。山下的炎热高温和嘈杂的生活似乎成了遥远的回忆。
恰逢满月,月光洒满湖面,“贝加尔湖畔”的旋律在夜空中悠然响起。那种纯净的感觉长久难忘。

"Star Trek", Death Valley National Park, California, USA
In the middle of night in one of the most remote areas of American West, alone in the middle of the dry lake floor,
I enjoyed the solitude of wilderness and witnessed the magnificent starry night and the famed "sailing rocks",
which move across the dry lake-bed mystically, leaving long trails behind them.
Death Valley’s night skies are among some of the darkest in the United States. It is so dark, that near the horizon
on the south, you can very clearly see the orange-hued light pollution coming Los Angles, which is 200 miles away!
You can see even stronger light pollution come from Las Vegas, which is 120 miles away, on the east. Under the long
exposure of modern cameras, the midnight sky is unexpectedly filled with vivid orange/red colors, and everything on
the ground is bathed in a faint, warm glow. The experience was very surreal.
《星空作证》,美国加州死谷国家公园的“石头赛道”
“石头赛道”是全世界最著名最奇特的地点之一。要来到这里也十分不易,要在颠簸的乱石路上开几个小时的车,而满地尖锐的
碎石随时可能划破车胎。在这极其平坦的干湖床上,星罗棋布般散落着很多石头。龟裂的泥地上留下了它们悠长的凝固轨迹。
近百年虽然有众多猜测,但从来没有人能证实这些重达几十甚至几百千克的石块为什么会自己在湖床上神秘地移动。直到两年前,
科学家才第一次观测到它们移动的原因。 原来冬天的湖床上偶然有非常浅的积水, 在寒冷的冬夜,会结起薄冰。在白天的阳光
照射下,冰面开始融化并破裂 。在风的吹动下,这些大面积冰块在湖面上移动,带动散落的石块滑过湖床的表面,并在泥土上
留下长长的轨迹。
在这个美国西部最遥远荒寂的角落之一,深夜我独自徘徊在干枯的湖床上,周围没有任何人类活动的痕迹。和我作伴的惟有璀璨
的星空和神秘的风动石。这里也有着全世界最黑暗的夜空,以至于300公里外洛杉矶城市微弱灯火,在地平线处竟然显得异常辉煌。
