Dead Tree

Dead Tree
Lake Dowerin my last shot of the night as my lens was starting to show sign of dew fall. I have never see this as I don't normally shoot so late but the other two knew this would happen and I did not pack a dew heater for the lens, will never happen again. Much past this spot we got into the mud of the lake that was very slippery.It was a shame we had no water in the lake to get the reflection of the milky way on the lake as well.

This was a concept shot to have the two Magellanic clouds in between the tree branches and the head of the Emu in shot.

Dead trees often make a good centrepiece but on this one they just lift you to the heavens. A great night shot with this MW and I have a feeling that it would have looked good in a deep blue sky too. Well done.

Cheers. Herb

You are 100% right the dead tree only lends you eye view out into the sky that seems never ending. this is what WA is known for and trying to look after to keep light pollution down, to nothing..

Glad you like the results of a cold night.
