Starlight Star Bright

After wrapping up the fall colors workshop I headed off south down the 395 towards Lone Pine. I checked photopills and found that I would be passing by the Alabama Hills just about the same time that the galactic core would be rising. I decided to take an hour and grab a shot that I've been wanting to try for some time. I was curious to see how well the In-Camera stacking technique would work with only starlight. The most challenging part of this shot was the focus stacking, you need to be able to focus on the hills in the far distance and on the mountain side as well as the stars. I was lucky enough to have a vehicle heading out of Whitney Portal and used that to focus on the mountain range and it was easy enough to focus the foreground but the midground required me to hike out about a 1/4 mile and drop my torch light, go back focus the camera and then head back and retrieve the light then back to the camera to press the shutter. The things we go through some nights but I was alone and could focus on new ideas and concepts.
