Haystack Rock and Beyond

I was fortunate to be at Cannon Beach all alone standing under the stars on an unusually clear evening this past Friday. What an amazing scene to take in! All alone on a dark beach, the ocean's roar, and as bright and starry of a sky as I've ever seen. I could have stood there forever.

 

So with much help from Ben Canales' star shooting tutorial, I tried to capture the scene I was enjoying. From what I can tell, Jupiter is shining bright in the upper right corner of the frame, and the moon's glow is shining in from just off the right side of the photo.
