Tahoe Nights

One week ago, I had the pleasure to meet with Ensrud Photography and Abe Blair for shooting the Milky Way over Lake Tahoe.

 

The sky conditions were perfect, but hiking through snow fields and working in temperatures a few degrees above the freezing point were quite a contrast to my previous night in the desert, where I was shooting in shorts and sandals.

 

Special thanks to Abe for sharing two of his favorite locations with us!
