Backbone of Night
Ever since we moved to Alberta, I have wanted to shoot the Milky Way over the mountains. It only took a year and a half to finally getting around to get some astro shots in. Although the core of the Milky Way is below the horizon in the fall, which is when I took this picture, I do like that it is visible much earlier than during the long summer days. What better place than Moraine Lake to take my first Milky Way picture since 2020.
I had to take 3 exposures for this image. The first one for the sky and the other two is a focus stack of the mountains and foreground.
