Cloudy Reflections

Memories of a beautiful night in the Swiss Alps with my astro buddy Benjamin Barakat one ayear ago, in July 2021.

 

The weather forecast was less than perfect that night, but we decided to take the risk and headed to this beautiful lake. The sky was never fully clear, but the Milky Way core was open most of the time. Due to the rather fast moving clouds and the slightly disturbed water, I did not track the reflection and worked with a higher ISO than I would normally do, but I still like the result.
