Milky Way, Florida Keys
Milky Way Night, Florida Keys.
Careful planning and some luck payed off here as I was watching the weather all week for clear skies and had scouted this location earlier in the week. I have seen virtually zero photos of the Milky Way in the Florida Keys but between islands the light pollution is low and I thought this dead tree would make a neat foreground. This early in the year the Core also rises in the very early hours before dawn so I was walking along these tide pools at 3am to set up for this shot. I was annoyed that a tanker truck decided to park near me on the roadside at this beach, but his lights ended up lighting the foreground for me! So happy to have my first Milky Way images this year from a new location.
