Dubai Galactica

Another fantasy shot, this work combines two shots. The cityscape is the increasingly famous skyscraper angle from Dubai at the Index Tower. The stunning shot of the starry sky is from Reunion Island. This is a shot that could have been captured in this location alone, but the stars would've aligned differently and would not give way to the notable details of the Milky Way we've all come to love. This photo was captured by the talented Daniel Cheong.

The Universe

Looking at this photo, it's hard to believe that a place so beautiful could be real. That may be because the photographer took some creative liberties here and stitched together two photos. It is a dream shot that could never actually exist. It's a fusion of the city and mountains of Cappadocia and Thailand, respectively. This incredible hybrid comes from the brilliant mind of photographer Anuparb Papapan.

 My God, It's Full of Stars

This is one of the most inspiring nighttime photographs out there today. It has been the inspiration for so many beautiful timelapse photos in the last two years and to date remains a favorite among fans. It was captured at the island Sylt, North Sea by photographer Thomas Zimmer. When asked about it, he says it took four hours to get this image just right and we can certainly tell! It's beautiful!

Milky Way Church

This stunning photo was one of the many shots during a time-lapse project. The photographer, Aaron J. Groen, is known for his stunning works with nighttime photography. Entitled "Milky Way Church", he captured this image at an old fashioned church located in South Dakota.

Cathedral Sky

One of the first photos captured by photographer Johannes Burkhard, this stunning night sky speaks for itself. The clusters of stars are so bright they seem to change the sky's natural colors. Captured at the Cathedral Lakes in the high Sierra of Yosemite, this is a stunning and realistic shot of a perfect night to camp!
