Description
I’m enamored with the Milky Way core. I’m enamored with stumps on lake shores. Naturally when I camp at a lake in a dark sky location, and that lake has stumps all around it, I’m going to see if I can put the two together. These three very large stumps were within sight of our camp site at Trinity Lake when we were there for several nights in June 2022. I felt absolutely compelled to light paint them under the stars! This image is the result of several shots of the sky shot in rapid suggestion and “stacked” to reduce digital “noise” caused by the needed camera settings to capture the stars before they “trail” due to the Earth’s rotation. These were then merged with several more frames with different camera settings where I “light painted” the stumps by walking around with an LED flashlight. In this way I can create a very clean image with much more detail than can likely be achieved in a single frame.
