Backcountry Milky Way

The Milky Way rises over Saddlerock Lake, in the Eastern Sierra Nevada.

 

I took this shot at Saddlerock Lake just below Bishop Pass in the Eastern Sierras. My hopes had been dashed for grabbing a reflection of the Milky Way on the lake at around sunset when the wind started picking up and continued throughout the evening. Despite the harsh winds I managed to find a spot next to this semi-petrified tree stump that would be relatively unaffected by the wind and still include the lake.

 

Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!!

Have a great weekend my friends!! :)

 

If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
