Amazing job and great composition.I made my way up to Rocky Mountain Nation Park Friday night after work to see if I could take advantage of the new moon and get a nice shot of the milky way. My plan was to get there early enough to have lots of time to scout out a shot and get some blue hour shots for the foreground and mountains then hang out and wait for the milk way to rise.. Originally I went to Sprague lake but didn't find any shots I was happy with so after about an hour I moved on to Bear Lake which I have tried shooting the milk way many times but never really got lucky with clear skys.
I thought Id try a different vantage point this time and I started making my way up the hillside. Lets just say it got really steep and I was not finding a good clearing in the trees that allowed a view of the lake below. After about an hour of fighting may way through some really thick trees. I finally came upon the spot where I made this shot. I was not totally thrilled with the clearing and there are some trees I wish were not there but alas I had begun to run out of light and just decided to go with it.
This image is made from two shots, I used a Canon 5DmkIV with a 25mm Zeiss Distagon f/2.0
Foreground and mountains shot about 9:15PM about 40 minutes after sunset f/8.0, 20 sec, ISO 100.
The sky was shot from the same location at about 11:00PM f/2.0, 15 sec, ISO 3200.
I manually blended the shots in Photoshop,
