replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A8. I climbed to the top of the Big Dune at Great Sand Dunes National Park without a flashlight (and without shoes) under a Full Moon. Best hike ever. #ParkChat

I haven’t taken in a full moon hike but did do a Ranger led hike…

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A9 #ParkChat I love seeing beautiful night sky photographs. I think it creates inspiration and makes it that much more special when you get to experience a clear night in a national park

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A9) I say make it shine the best you can. People should know by now that technology and filters can alter photos, but the most important thing is to keep citizen's interest in these beautiful places. #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur @ArchesNPS We didn't make it all the way up but just being out on the sand there at night is surreal! And sooo many kangaroo rats! #parkchat

A9. Similar to art. Do Moran’s paintings 100% depict their subject? Some fantasy for the imagination is good. #parkchat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A9: Parks should stick to the less edited pictures that still capture and represent what a visitor can expect to see. Let the IG’s do their thing with the startrails and stitched photos #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A9) Photoshop has created a lot of unrealistic expectations for IRL experiences, though we find these images are amazing pieces of art and should be used to show what's truly there if we're not using our eyes. #Parkchat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A9 I think parks need to continue to take beautiful pictures and use them to maximize their social media potential to raise awareness in the public perception (Especially with the younger generation) #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @ChacoCultureNHP there were so many stars that night that it felt like you were swimming in them! #parkchat
t_jh2009
replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A9) Carefully, whenever something like this happens I worry about the park & its inhabitants. Thus if there's going to be a night sky photography program I'd consider limiting it to a manageable number of participants. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A9 So many people do not get to see the Milky Way in their cities due to light pollution, I think photos like these are a reminder that it is out there and that you can see it in dark sky places. #parkchat

A9. Anything that reminds people of darkness is important. We're so disconnected from, and often afraid of, the dark. It's sad. We lose part of ourselves when we avoid the dark. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A9 Perhaps. Someone might think “why can’t I see that with the naked eye”? Such photos take lots of skill and are admirable. I think the Parks should us them if for no other reason than to acknowledge the photographer. #ParkChat

@ArchesNPS A8. I've never done a full moon hike in a national park. My favorite full moon hike is at home when there is snow. Oh my, it is beautiful. Silent. Magical.

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A9. I think that Parks should be cautious about using these unnatural Dark Sky photos. There's no way to stop individuals from creating them, but I think that Parks should stick to photos with some semblance of communicating the actual visitor experience. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A9. Unnatural expectations? Nah, I mean, day or night, the photos I've seen of a park are not something I expect to replicate--they just get me excited for the trip. #parkchat

#ParkChat - took a gorgeous full-moon hike at @GrandCanyonNPS a couple of years ago! Didn't have to do much differently while hiking except watch my footing a bit more! #nps #findyourpark #nationalparks https://t.co/B4gMP4gLkT

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS Ha! That’s fantastic. Can’t wait to show them. So there really is a unicorn in the sky! My kids keep asking for a unicorn and don’t understand why they can’t get one. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A9 #parkchat I think the technology does create some images that you really won't see with the naked eye. With that being said, I really have not seen a photo that replaces being there in the moment.
