Just a Hint

Just a little peak at the Milky Way rising up behind Hot Creek Gorge as the foreground is illuminated by a Waxing Gibbous moon at 81.7%.

 

I was up in this area to shoot the fall color with a another photography buddy. He had not been to this location so I brought him here attempt to shoot the Milky Way ( he had not shot the milky way before as well) and then back here for sunrise the next day.

 

I was not expecting to see much of the Milky Way with so much moon light washing out the stars, ( you can look at a past photo of mine to see what it looks like when there is no moon in the sky

flic.kr/p/2m9xg7t ), but it was still fun to shoot and see how well the moon illuminates the surrounding landscape.
