Lucky Stars

20 minute exposure taken up at Lucky Peak Reservoir just a few miles from my home.

 

This is my first time getting back out at night for quite awhile. I was worried about getting chilled and loosing my focus and creativity so I bundled up rather warmly. I ended up shooting from 8pm to 1am. Unfortunately the clouds started to roll in right after this shot, so I had to work with them in my shots. This was my favorite from the night. The crescent moon was at my back and provided the light upon the landscape. I would have liked to bring Polaris into the frame, but that composition was not as interesting.
