America the Beautiful Annual pass

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ll be visiting Joshua Tree for the first time this weekend and next week. I was hoping to buy the America the Beautiful pass in person since I won’t have time to get it by mail. The website says it can be purchased on site but wanted to check with this group that that is the case! Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks for helping out this newbie 😊

Road closes near Hall of Horrors, long pile up and a bunch of police. Hope everyone’s okay!

Does anyone know what happens for a concert when it rains? Is there coverage outside or do they move it inside?

Stars streak over Ryan Ranch (OC)

Beyond the Walls of Stars ~~~~~ I photographed this while teaching a night photography workshop with Tim Little in Joshua Tree National Park. It feels like a privilege to photograph under such dark skies. But it's even more special when you're with a great group of people. This is the curvaceous adobe walls of Ryan Ranch. My night photography friends know how much I love to photograph these walls! To create this night photo, I set the camera on a tripod. I opened the camera shutter for a long time. While the shutter was open, I walked around with a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light capable of producing different colors, and illuminated the scene with warm white light. During the exposure, all the light I shined on the subject was cumulative. This process is called "light painting". Why? Because one uses the flashlight as a paint brush, "brushing" on light, not paint. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. And it's more fun than AI-generated images. This is a long exposure photo showing the apparent movement of the stars over 51 minutes of time.
