white sands

September 25th - 29th - White Sands, New Mexico

Join us for 4 nights in White Sands National Park capturing the endless expanses of Gypsum Salt dunes under the dark night skies as well as a special night at a nearby Petroglyph mecca! October is an excellent time for Night Photography as you can shoot the Milky Way core early after sunset and catch the transition into various constellations and nebulae throughout the long nights. Typically White Sands is closed at night but we will have special access to the park after dark.
