Todd Lake Nightscape - a photo on Flickriver

Todd Lake Nightscape

            The core of the Milky Way fills the frame and always looks impressive when photographed at 50mm, as it was here, with a very still Todd Lake in the foreground and Mount Bachelor behind it. I used a tracking mount to take eight 45s exposures of the sky for noise reduction, and then took eight non-tracked 45s exposures for the mountain and forest "midground". These image sets were separately stacked in Photoshop, and the stacked sky and midground images were then combined with a  single 45s non-tracked exposure for the reflection on the water. Kind of a complicated processing workup but that's what you get when you shoot a tracked nightscape with a water body as the foreground. I was glad that there was still a little bit of snow on the mountain on this summer night.
