Under the Milky Way.

Attended the Mt Kobau Star Party over the weekend. Only time you are allowed to camp on the summit, over looking Osoyoos. A rough gravel 20km drive up to 6000ft.

Fantastic Photo! You should submit it to Escape for consideration in the 2025 calendar.

Agree with the calendar sentiment! Beautiful photo! Noticed you used the proper red lighting inside the trailer :-) .

Care to share the photo details? (camera, iso, shutter speed, etc)?

Yes, I have a multicolour LED strip in my dinette overhead cabinets. So set that to red. Interesting enough they weren’t visible to the naked eye but the camera picked it up.

Tech details; Fuji XT1 camera, Fuji 10-24 lens, F.4.0, ISO 6400, 30sec exposure on tripod. And a LOT of editing in Lightroom to deal with the noise of a very old camera!

Was up there doing some astrophotography but the Aurora unexpectedly showed up and messed up my deep space photography, lol.

Heading up the coast of Norway towards the North Cape and no aurora yet. My wife is getting frustrated. I won't mention these posts.

And if anyone is interested this is a 360 degree Timelapse pano of sunset at the Summit. You might spot an Escape trailer in there! Shot by my friend and accomplished photographer Tony Puerzer.

Spectacular shot. Rivals John Kliewer's famous picture of his 21 on Fogo Island, NL parked on a dock.

Can you PM me the settings/equipment you used to compose this image. Thanks.
