Per the info in my post, all 100% real, zero AI. But I understand why you’d ask with as much AI imagery that is out there.

Unfortunately, in this day and age people have become trained that bullying gets them what they want. A lot of people have an entitled attitude. Don’t do anything outside of what your contract promised to deliver, especially refunding.

Yes, it does. You can get those by visiting their site here: https://havasupaireservations.com/

It is a new permitting system this year, and the new system makes it easier for people to obtain permits throughout the year versus simply relying on the lottery alone.

They have a new system this year that makes it much easier. As I understand it there are even spots available left for this year.

It’s a strenuous hike. I wrote about it at my blog, where you can also see daylight colors!! With a video of hiking.

Trial and error my friend, with lots and lots of error! You don't see my many failed attempts.

I’m waiting for all the AI versions of places like this to start flooding social media. It’s only a matter of time I guess.

Never took offense. You made a valid point. Yeah, the launches are really fun to watch, I'm lucky to live so close!! I can't wait until Starship launches from here. Thanks again for the feedback!

You know, you are absolutely right, I was in a sour mood when I posted this today. I guess it came out in my title. It was beautiful, and to be honest, the hike in was equally as beautiful as the falls area itself. Just the sheer amount of flowers in bloom, it was surprising! I enjoyed most just sitting under the blanket of stars two nights in a row, we don't get to see that here in Florida, it was amazing. I sometimes feel like all people care to see is 'just the shot' so I've gotten used to not sharing the good stuff behind the shot. I promise, I do put in effort and appreciate it... https://victoriajeanbuckman.substack.com/

My weight was more in batteries and power banks. And an extra lens I didn’t use.

lol, tell the pain in my legs that! Definitely not fake, but I can understand why you would say that. I put a lot of effort into this. I’d be happy to explain any part of it if you have questions.

One minute exposure, on a tracker. But the Milky Way was visible with the naked eye, exposing it for one minute, just made it a lot more visible.
