Location
Went for an overnight hike on Patscherkofel Mountain near Innsbruck in Tirol Austria. The highway below is the Brenner highway to Italy. There was a lightning storm in Italy at the bottom of the milkyway and Mars on the left was bright.Time
This was taken around midnightLighting
The foreground was lit up by a red warning light on the peak so had to de saturate the foreground.Equipment
Used a Zeiss Loxia 21mm on the Sony a7r and very happy with the resultsInspiration
I was waiting for clear skies and finally had an oppertunityEditing
Only did lightroom adjustments with some dodge and burn.In my camera bag
Canon mostly but when I do longer hikes I go light with my 21mm Loxia and Sony a7rFeedback
composition more important than gear
