I have always loved space and its vastness and beauty. I think this is probably not only my favorite photo from my recent Mammouth Lakes trip but probably my favorite astrophoto. This photo was taken very late at night around 1-2 am somewhere around there and it was absolutely freezing outside. Somewhere in the 5-10 degrees. The photo was taken on a Canon DSLR with not a super wise lens but a long exposure. If I remember correctly it was around a 45second exposure with the ISO set to just about as high as it would go. I did have to work on this photo a lot to clean it up and had to use photoshop a bit but the results were worth it. I have never seen the sky so clear and full in all of my life than when I was up on the top of the mountain that night. It was just spectacular to see and I can't wait to go back again!
