Artist Statement
Stars Over Stones was shot in October of 2016 on a historic farm in Chase County, KS. Chase County is located in one of the least light polluted regions of the US. I wanted to illustrate the feeling of ‘big skies” and lack of light pollution that the original pioneers who built this farm would have experienced. Chase County is a relatively treeless expanse of tallgrass prairie so most of the original structures were built with native stone, often quarried onsite. The stone wall in this image was built by hand in the 1870s.
This image was shot as a long exposure of 30 seconds at ISO 3200 with a Nikon D7000 and a Tokina 16-24 lense @ 16mm.
