Up the Wrong Creek

An honorable mention photo of the 2017 International Earth & Sky Photo Contest
From the photographer: “Milky Way core over a creek that is usually dry, self portrait with torch. I had planned a different location but water over the road meant I had to back track and try an unplanned location. All foreground lighting is artificial.

Technical details: D810A, 15-30mm Tamron lens at 15mm, f/2.8, ISO3200, 20 seconds, A single-exposure image”
