A tasty Bear Paw Cafe lunch was our goal, but I decided to make a pit stop in MOFACO Utah (Modern Farm and Artist Co-op) on Main Street, St. George, Utah, USA. I spoke to a friendly painter/educator named Ash Swenson at the register. She let me know she teaches painting classes and had some of her artwork displayed in the store. We continued to talk while she showed me her paintings and told me about the paint event classes she teaches. Beyond Color Art is the name of her business and her card gave this info: beyondcolorart.com and Instagram @color.beyond In the end, I asked if I could take a quick portrait.

4K North Star Trails and Milky Way Photography in Pine Valley, Utah · Polaris Vinyl
Long exposure night photography from Pine Valley, Utah. These two sets of photographs capture star trails and our night sky. These sets helped me determine the correct exposure and optimal time for night photography at nearly 7,000 feet (2100 meters) above sea level.The first set of photographs, Polaris Vinyl, faced the north star (Polaris) and was photographed for over one hour in Pine Valley, Utah, USA.The second set of photographs, Milky Way Rising, faced east and was photographed for over two hours in Pine Valley, Utah, USA. Next time, I will cut the exposure time in half while reducing the Milky Way’s star trails.Equipment used: Mirrorless camera, 14mm lens at f/1.8 lens, sturdy tripod, cable release
