Bishop Milky Way and fall colors

Lindsay Thomson

Oct 2, 2026

Well, just to start off with, I am still in Bishop photographing the night sky and the fall colors. Today is Friday, October 2, so the two images I attached to the blog will not be printed in time for the fall tour, but when I’ll print them after the fall tour, they should be stunning. I brought my laptop up here with its smaller screen. So it’s difficult to do post processing on astrophotography images because I don’t have my big monitor here lol. The Milky Way is my first pass at post processing, so it’s not complete but it gives you an idea of the night sky up here. The Milky Way was a river of stars last night and it rivals the dark skies of Utah. I have been photographing fall colors all week here. The conditions are perfect. There are no yellow leaves on the ground. That means all the yellow leaves are still on the trees. The skies have been clear, there’s been hardly any wind, and it’s nice and warm during the day and night. My studio will be open all three days of Ojai studio fall tour. From 10 AM to 5 PM we live in Oak View. Hope to have time to stop by.
