Tracking Milk Over West Spanish Peak

People that know me know that I really like to revisit past efforts. It's a great way to look critically at my own work and say - you know, I just want to go back and shoot it again. I use different techniques and I almost always get interesting results.

 

I created this image from a spot near West Spanish Peak and La Veta, Colorado with the moon setting over my shoulder. In-fact, you can see the last of the moonlight hitting one of the so-called Great Dikes of West Spanish Peak shown in the foreground. Besides that, the super detailed stars above became the highlight of the image thanks to my tracking of the stars during the exposure. With celestial goodies like the Eagle, Omega, Lagoon, and Butterfly Nebulas, I'm already looking forward to seeing this printed big...

 

There is a lot more to this post... see the rest of the backstory, how I got the shot, and get free wallpaper from www.coloradocaptures.com/tracking-milk-over-west-spanish-...
