Always amazed at the work of photographers doing night sky images. The skill, planning but foremost the determination to stay up late in the often cold night air. Shot this on Wild Walk at The Wild Center in August of 2016. Didn’t really know where the Milky Way would be and lucked out as it revolved around the towers and eagles’ nest.
Shot this with Nikon D4. If memory serves me right, it was about 18mm lens zoom, ISO 3200 and around 30 second exposure at f2.8. Added a little light painting on the towers with a dim AA tungsten flashlight.
This is one of the perks of living in one of darkest regions in the country.
