Milky Way Tufas

Mono Lake State Park

I met up with Sandi Whitteker to do some shots of the Tufas at Mono Lake. We had
quite the adventure over an evening and the following (very, very) early morning.
I think this is my favorite shot of this trip to Mono Lake but still have other shots to process.

This is a single 20s shot looking at the center of our Milky Way galaxy,
with a bit of creative illumination of the tufas from a flashlight.
