YouTube · Location Scouting: Peoa Barn | Landscape Photography Scouting
Aaron goes out on a Solo Photog Adventures to scout out a barn in Peoa, Utah on his way home from work. Aaron goes the scenic way up the canyon, passed Park City, so that he can see if the red barn he found online in Peoa could potentially be an interesting foreground for an astrophotography shot. If nothing else, an interesting subject for a sunrise or sunset landscape. If you enjoy coming along with us, please subscribe. Thanks for watching, see you next week!
YouTube · Three Unique Milky Way images in one night | Milky Way Photography | Astrophotography
Aaron rents a Canon 6D to try out Milky Way Photography on a full-frame, especially the low light performance of the 6D. Leaving the house around 1am he goes to three locations within an hour of his house all on his way to work. If you enjoy coming along with us, please subscribe.

YouTube · Milky Way Timelapse | Goosenecks & Goblin Valley | Milky Way Photography | Astrophotography
Milky Way Photography expedition to the southern border of Utah where we capture Milky Way timelapse over Goosenecks State Park, drive-by Monument Valley and capture an awesome Milky Way after getting lost in Goblin Valley. The trip out to Goosenecks and Goblin Valley was our first weekend trip where we had our GoPros with us to chronicle the whole adventure. We had been out several times before but we had to use my Canon 70D for recording and we really only got around to doing that once out at the Notch when we were at the crazy solar ruins. The trip to Goosenecks State Park is about 6 hours from Salt Lake City. So we were just crossing our fingers that the sky would be as clear as the weather was saying it should be. The first night began with clouds and that made Aaron freak out with anxiety that the sky would be blocking the Milky Way. But after the sun set and the temperature changed the sky cleared out entirely and our shots worked out awesomely. After a perfect night at the Goosenecks, we decided to drive up north to Goblin Valley State Park and try our luck out up there for our last night instead of a repeat night at the Goosenecks. The sky was perfectly clear when we got to Goblin Valley State Park. To say we got lucky would be an understatement.
Podcast · The birth of Photog Adventures | Ep 1
The birth of Photog Adventures! Brendon Porter and Aaron King have committed to getting out in 2016 to build their landscape and astrophotography portfolios. Come along as they chronicle their adventures travelling around Utah and the surrounding areas. In this first podcast, we talk about Brendon's first ever capture of the Milky Way and our first adventure out when we traveled to Strawberry Reservoir in Utah at 1am so we could capture the early year Milky Way rising at 2:30am.
Podcast · The full Milky Way above the Knolls | Ep 2
Out to the Knolls in the Salt Flats where we capture the awesome full arch of the Milky Way and discuss how crucial it is to capture before Astronomical Dawn.
Podcast · Abandoned Train Trestle Astrophotography | Ep 3
Scouting locations with Google Earth, Aaron comes across an abandoned Train Trestle that looked perfectly aligned for Milky Way shots. Brendon and Aaron get out there on May 4th and discover one of their favorite nearby locations for capturing a beautiful Milky Way Nightscape!
Podcast · Salt Lake Valley Sunset & Car Light Trails | Ep 4
After work, Brendon and Aaron go out on a last minute Photog Adventure where we travel to an overlook of the Salt Lake Valley. Brendon had found this location a few weeks earlier and we decided it would make an awesome spot for a sunset that evening since a rain storm had just been through. The clouds were great at sunset but it got even better when we decided to stick around and capture light trails from the passing traffic.
