Reflecting the Universe
The Milky Way reflecting off of the surface of Dollar Lake on the Rae Lakes Loop of Kings Canyon National Park.
My buddy and I were backpacking the 45 mile loop over 4 days. This was our second camp site of the loop and we had just got into camp around 6pm, set up, made and eaten dinner. I had about 1/2 hour to get ready before the Milky Way became visible, this was taken at 8:30 pm that night. Unfortunately some campers on the other side of the lake were using their red headlamps, but....what are you going to do.
6 photos taken at ISO 6400, F1.4, and 13 seconds stacked for the sky and blended with one long exposure at ISO 800, F1.4, and 124 seconds long for the foreground. Both series taken with long exposure noise reduction on.
