Location
This photo was taken beside Joss Lake, a tiny alpine lake sitting next to the snow on Joss mountain in British Columbia.Time
This was shot at night obviously... specifically at 12:30 am. I used an app called PhotoPills to see were the band of the Milky Way would be months before I made the hike up there.Lighting
I planned this hike around this photo. I had been to this location before and shot one of my first Astro pics the year before. Now with new gear and a lot more knowledge I headed up the mountain knowing exactly were to be and when to be there to get dark skies.Equipment
This was shot on a Nikon z6 with a samyang 14mm 2.8Inspiration
This picture was inspired by my desire to do better than my previous attempts to capture the Milky Way. I am always trying to create something new that I have never done beforeEditing
This required a lot of post processing. The foreground was shot a few hours before, and the sky is a three shot vertical panorama. Processing was done in Lightroom and photoshop.In my camera bag
What I carry depends on what I’m doing. Always a Nikon z6 and lenses depend on the situationFeedback
Be patient and shoot often. It took me years to understand my camera well enough to get this shot.
