Watching this again - rest in peace Alyn - you were perhaps the most inspirational for my astro journey - thank you and I wish you clear skies forever.

[@ardnfast]

5:37 you certainly did Alyn, you certainly did. Thank you 🙌🙏❤️

[@MrMartgolf]

Just recently catching up with your vlogs Alyn, You were such an amazing talent sir, You will be sadly missed 🙏🙏🙏

[@archaic5884]

You know what Alyn? I am in my 60's and used to spend a lot of time in Joshua Tree and other areas in the desert rock climbing. You brought a couple of tears to my eyes with those beautiful pictures. Brought back lots of memories. Thank you very much for doing what you do.

[@AlynWallace]

Wow thanks!

[@1wurthmuur]

Me too👍🏾 Peace. 🇲🇦

[@NigelDanson]

An absolutely stunning video and amazing images Alyn. I loved the twisted tree shot with Milky Way (the 2nd of the 3 was my fav).

[@AlynWallace]

Thanks Nigel really apreciate it! Hope your recovery is going smooth this time.

[@abiskar7231]

I love photohraphy and filmography. Never tried astrophotography , getting a deep interest recently but this video is giving me some kind of nostalgic vibes like a hallmark of all the childhood memories of mine .I used to love stars, when I was a child I dreamt of becoming an astronaut,I would always go up to the rooftop of my then house with a mattress and sleep there and start on counting stars until I fall asleep but with time I lose interest in stars. I wouldnt say I lost interest since the thumbnail of this video got me sucked up to the video and I am still in here after 30 minutes which is an emotional testament of the love for stars and sky that I always had and it once again ignited that feeling inside me and yeah you earned a new member in the channel. And also I am starting astrophotography from tomorrow cause your passion and love for stars reignited that motivation, that inspiration ,that will to starting to love In ME once again. I am starting Astrophotography cos' When I see the night sky I just want to dwell in them and feel the presence of every star surrounding me. It gives me so much peace and something tells me that my real home is somewhere there. It's very hard to explain what I feel, but I know for sure that this feeling is very very deep. Thanks Alyn,thank you so much. And great work Alyn. This vlog was amazing. The photos were absolutely stunning. I loved it. Never put down your love for your passion! ❤❤❤🌠🌌

[@bradperry4902]

A lot of times, I tend to gravitate more towards cooler colours in astro images, but man, do those warm tones in the milky way ever look amazing against that dusty, rocky landscape. Amazing work as always!

[@AshleyChuChu]

I don't normally care about sponsors in a video, but my goodness mpb is a great site. Can finally get rid of old lens I don't use and get something more for astrophotography!

[@mattcostanza]

Incredible astro vlog Alyn! Inspiring as always. This vlog is your best yet! Visiting California is definitely high on my list of places to visit for astro. That and probably visiting Utah. I wouldn't mind going back to Oregon again either. It was a real honor meeting you in-person at the Crater Lake and Oregon Coast workshop Alyn. I learned so much from you! I'll never forget my experience I had there!

[@tolman33]

This is an extremely inspiring piece of work you've created, the whole thing's production from still shots to vlog is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing your passion with those who might not have the capability to pursue.

[@Keenan716]

5:33 we love you bro!

[@gemmarichards5035]

Beautiful shots. Love the ones at Joshua. Would be a dream to see such clear and unpolluted skies. Thank you for taking us along.

[@roadtrippin2781]

Hopefully he found darker skies down there than Joshua Tree (Bortle 4). Up here in S.E. Oregon we have vast amounts of bortle 1 skies.

[@tdawg719]

I love that one with the moon and Venus wow!!!

[@BrettHoustonTube]

Wow that was a whilrwind trip. Great shots! The best way to experience DV is with a Jeep or 4x4 rig camping out. The Racetrack should be your next stop. Saline Valley is epic with the insane wind and salt flats. The best spots are off the tourists beaten path. Especially if you don't want em muckin in your shots. Take 2 weeks at least. That peace, silence and the Mojave vibe can be addictive.

[@KVF6363]

Your vlogs inspired me to lookup into the night skies

[@josephcole3187]

In regards to the quiet in DV it was the most calming moment of my life, pure silence… bliss

[@danb821]

I’m absolutely in awe of your photos and so inspired! Thank you.

[@derbagger22]

Wish I knew what I was doing when I was in Canyonlands, May of last year. I learned a lot from channels like yours so I got the perfect night on Mauna Kea in September and got my first Milky Way shots. For a total beginner, I still look at them in awe. Thank you for all your instruction. I'd like to get to more places to take night shots. Hard in Northeast USA....

[@adamforest1986]

From southern England to southern California good for you Alyn

[@danielhauck7128]

Beautiful shots Alan. I hiked to The Bristlecone Pines last August also Mono Lake Tufa. The dark skys were awesome.

[@patrickhanly7458]

I loved the view of Scorpius when you first got to the site where the guy was doing donuts. That would have made a nice shot (after donuts left of course). Thanks for another great video.

[@saccaed]

Eureka Dunes and Ubehebe Crator would be great spots if/when you get back to Death Valley. Between Lake Tahoe and the Colorado River is some of my most favorite terrain to visit. A camper van definitely is the way to go. There are a lot of areas in Death Valley that would be great for astro photography but are so far from the Hotels / Campgrounds that it's better to have something to spend the night in. Also, end of March beginning of April has a good chance of showers that causes the super blooms.

[@anakinskywalker5838]

Been looking forward to this! Awesome video as always👍🏻

[@DanYosua]

Awesome shots, love the star trails. So happy you got to take such a cool trip and share with us!

[@flanerpete2040]

Absolutely awesome images, Alyn! Super job!

[@danielnorman8595]

Thank you for that video. I lived in California for a decade. Down in San Diego. You can't go West because of the ocean and if you go South you better know Spanish. So north and east was the only way to travel. You're up in Owens valley that was kind of my backyard. Like I said in my other post the night sky in the high desert is fabulous. The stars are much brighter there than anywhere else. I know you enjoyed that trip because I've enjoyed it many times. The pictures you took are awesome. Great job. I'm a little green with envy. LOL

[@DLMVegas]

Nice job. You got lucky with the skies. It's either clouds, wind or the moon most of the time here in Vegas.

[@GronnOnland]

One of the best vlog editions! Thank you!

[@stoettingerphoto]

Incredible results of your trip! Love the photos

[@Creation2345]

Epic stuff. The Joshua tree stuff hit me the most. But all of it is really amazing.

[@bradfordpepping8434]

Thanks for sharing the vlog, Alyn! Maybe my favorite to date. I grew up in So Cal, where I fell in love with shooting astro landscapes, so this video really took me home. Thanks for letting me experience this vicariously through you.

[@gordonnorman8259]

Great work, Alyn! I've followed you for years from here in Socal and it's great to see you applying your skills and experience to my backyard locations - I'm now inspired to get to those Bristlecone pines to follow your lead!

[@StarScaperPhoto]

I've been looking forward to this vlog, and for good reason! I enjoyed it thoroughly. Inspires me to go ahead with that next astro trip and at the same time reality checks me that these sleep deprived trips are killing at the same time 😅. Respect for putting out these quality exposures during the whole trip, despite being so tired! Such stunning images!

[@laurag9306]

Amazing journey and captures! Thank you for sharing your travels, passion, and knowledge. I can't wait to go back out to the American west to see the night sky

[@MrWacha]

Namibia and Namib Desert are on my bucket list.

[@sheji100]

Wonderful video Alyn. Amazing compositions and always love your Milkyway shots, great foreground attractions indeed. Keep inspiring.

[@SteveZodiac777]

What a wonderful video! Great locations and techniques = superb shots. Loved 'em all!

[@PaulMDillon]

So rad to see you in my neck of the woods hitting up my favorite spots. You have done wonders with all of these places. Thank you for the constant years of inspiration.

[@Vlaakster]

This was so enjoyable to watch. I love your channel. Your photos are stunning. Great work Alyn.

[@astrojourneyuk]

What a trip! I’d be happy with just one of those shots and you got loads of amazing images. Wow!!!

[@GrandmasterBBC]

Amazing as always. You are truly the master.

[@dm1787]

Really grt video. I live in CA and have been to all those places. But your storytelling around the process of it all was really nice! I could relate to all those things. As the say, it is the journey that makes it so special.

[@Mackymcd]

sublime Alyn, the colour balance is seriously great

[@tephe9986]

Absolutely stunning photos. What an amazing trip.

[@avt_astro206]

Amazing Road Trip ans Images Alyn!!

[@brucesmith798]

Incredible photography, Mr. Wallace!

[@scotty4418]

what a fabulous video Alyn, and thank you for sharing an incredible array of images. You certainly looked knackered when you were out on the salt flats but what a way to finish your trip

[@Stillfilm1]

Sensational images Alyn and a fantastic video. Every picture was mind blowing but my favourite was the star trails. You've inspired me once again, thank you.

[@golfer17h]

Pure beauty and stunning images. Thank you Alan for a wonderful video.

[@alisonfairley5444]

Two words, TOP VLOG! really really really enjoyed this Alyn. Thanks for all your hard work and excellent videos!

[@juliabestall1986]

Wow. What a trip. And thank you for sharing it, and for the in-depth descriptions of the pics.

[@jffro]

Absolutely amazing shots!!!! What a destination…& yes ur vids are extremely inspirational & informative 👍

[@helencogan2187]

AMAZING!!! ALL the images were my favorites...your work is incredible , Alyn.. YOU inspire me to keep at it!..Be well and thank you!

[@wallacebrosphotography4409]

Absolutely incredible! You’re a huge inspiration for my Astro work! Thank you for everything you put out.

[@dentonator96]

One of your best videos yet! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Hope you are feeling better and thank you!

[@KonstantinosThemelis]

What a blast of a journey man! Loved every location!

[@christhompson2872]

Great video and makes me pine for darker nights at this time of year....

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Man, you worked hard and enjoyed. Love watching it all the way

[@mihailminkov]

Awesome video Alyn, all this locations are in my must visit list. Can't imagine how hard is to vlog and shoot in the same time! Thanks for sharing, such a pleasure to watch it!

[@rolsonn]

Great images Alyn! I've never gone to southern CA; hopefully in the future. I've spent time in Southern Utah under amazing skies. The quiet's incredible to experience including hearing the coyotes, and owls

[@andamd1983]

Great work Alyn!

[@atlanticdriftfishing6451]

Lovely job, you're great at this.

[@AndrewRobins]

What a great video and collection of images. The Cactus image is my favourite of the bunch but they’re all amazing. I’m now even more excited to see your book when it arrives. It should be waiting for me in the UK by the time I return from Australia.

[@IllFlyIt]

Photos are amazing! Also your video editing is very good, the edits, music, and narrative are perfect. Love it all man!

[@siegfriednoet]

Wow, really beautiful images Alyn and a very relaxing video, the images with the twisted tree are my favorite, although I would be happy with either one of those images you showed here. Great work and absolutely one of your best videos

[@joannaz68]

Not only magical photos Alyn,but also a fantastic video, brought back so many happy memories from Joshua Tree and Death Valley Parks (visited only a day time). Thanks for doing great job, thanks for sharing ❤

[@FilippoMasoni]

Awesome stuff Alyn! The star trail with the bristlecone pine is my favorite, insanely beautiful! I can't believe I've visited all of those places but didn't know anything about Astro at the time, definitely need to come back.

[@priyv8710]

Your astro vlogs are a treat .....and I liked all the shots....:)

[@zeeeter]

Thanks for sharing - luckily I've been to each of those locations in the last 12 months, was a great refresher!

[@darenhomewood7853]

Loved this video, and some awesome images Alyn. Looks like you enjoyed visiting these iconic locations that inspired your journey. I'm planning something similar when I head to the Elan Valley next month as your Stonehenge vid started my own personal journey, and your other vlogs in deepest darkest Wales fuelled my passion. Keep living your best life buddy 👌

[@gomanastro]

Alyn, another great video, one of your best. Love hearing your thoughts as you stand there and experience the moments, it brings us there. Photos are great as usual! Glad to hear you got to experience some of the best of the west....regards! g

[@tiklau]

It is hard to pick up one spot that i like the most, the old trees are so stunning but the death valley are so unreal in the earth. Thank you Alyn to bring me to see the Beauty of the Milky ways ❤

[@KRiemer]

I loved every minute of this video 🫡

[@davidburchettephotography6513]

Beautiful images!

[@danielnorman8595]

Ah I see mount Whitney at about 10 minutes in. I've climbed that three times. There is truly something special about the night sky in the high desert. You'll never see the stars any brighter.

[@davebryer6133]

Your images just blow me away, if I could do 1/10 as well as you do I would be impressed.

[@MurrayPeeps]

So cool to see you on the same continent as me! Looks like you did it right. Visited some iconic places. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@edwaitt1973]

Fantastic photographs!

[@paulflatt1518]

Great video. Can't pick one, they are all unique and excellent in their own right. So many milky shots are done in Utah, so nice to see different locations. Well done.

[@mitzimckay7934]

Stunning photos!

[@paulcollier7138]

Great vlog. I had that nostalgia this year when I went to la palm after seeing your vlog from there!

[@the_earthmonkey]

Awesome video Alyn. Thanks for sharing.

[@jochenfehlbaum]

Wow - I can’t find words for it 🤩. Simply amazing and incredible that you processed the shots during the trip. I’m definitely on the fence to visit Death Valley. Looking forward to receiving your book to go deeper into planning 😉

[@suewilson1709]

Beautiful and informative. Thank you for sharing! Joshua Tree is on my bucket list!

[@brandigonwa7848]

I'm heading to California to the same place your video was so inspiring, I can not wait.... so excited😊 thanks. Hope you get your gear fixed.

[@sachidesai2703]

Beautiful images, showing what is possible! I loved the bristlecone pics. Also thank you for the kind words in the video! Excited to order your book and use the teachings in my late summer Astro road trip!

[@AlynWallace]

Thanks Sachi was good to meet!

[@andrewsales2167]

Absolutely amazing images

[@jakobschultz1663]

Great shots, Alyn! I haven't done or watched a lot of astro recently but this just made we wanna go out again!

[@richardhurst1969]

I think Death Valley for me. Love the salt patterns

[@nightscapejournals]

Thanks, Alyn - what a fantastic trip and beautiful images. I needed to see that; I’ve got a trip to Senja for a week planned in October this year to shoot Astro and aurora all week, but recent busyness and post- covid lethargy has had me doubting it’s a good idea. This video just got me right back on track, so thank you! 🙏

[@TamelessNoiz]

Great work, very inspiring

[@dennisstanworth1718]

Well done! Your images are next level. Thanks for sharing this. I live in California, I'm going to have to step up my game thanks to you.

[@shupingyin8082]

Fantastic episode absolutely love it I’ve been to all of the places your featured here

[@IllFlyIt]

Appreciate your efforts and amazing talent!

[@billharris8204]

Terrific video Alyn. Your work is exceptional! I immediately related to your walk out onto Badwater Basin in the dark. I was there in January at 4:30am with a group of other shooters and it was still pretty eerie! It certainly would have been more so by yourself. Anyway, thanks for sharing your work and inspiring me in my photographic journey into astro.

[@NickPage]

So it’s cool to see you on my side of the pond! Fantastic images is always!

[@AlynWallace]

Ah thanks dude! I actually filmed myself talking about you at Cyclops arch but it got cut to keep the vlog short. If you happen to be around Utah in the next 2 weeks let me know!

[@mgman6000]

Thanks from a 77 year old guy it reminds me of 40 years ago when I was in an astronomy club and went out to view the heavens I still get out to take milky way shots I'm planning to go out with my son in a couple of weeks and take some shots at Dee Wright observatory in central Oregon near sisters I'm subscribing to your channel it gives me the little extra push to get out

[@bryanashford5118]

blown away amazing video very very nice shots truly talented photography only wish i could do this cant wait for the next adventure

[@ssmold]

Hi Alyn! I live in SoCal and I've been to all the spots you shared on your trip. Death Valley is fabulous! You need a week just for it. Trona Pinnacles is great too! Joshua Tree is the closest location for me, love that park. All fabulous locations! Love the astro-mod look in the milkyway. Great work! California milkyway road trips are the best, so many locations and not enough time to cover them all.

[@AlynWallace]

Yup I definitely realised that Death Valley needs a good week! Thanks

[@SimonsAstro]

Cracking Vlog Alyn, great locations, all of them! Beautiful Milky Way images!I’ve followed you when you had a van in Wales, to your world wide trips! Great work, you inspire a lot of people, me included 👍 Thanks & Clear Skies!

[@AlynWallace]

Thanks so much!

[@vilmaenguate]

How awesome ❤❤❤ beautiful passion of yours.
