The Milky Way is back...

this season and here are several compositions that I shot on a nocturnal mission between 1 to 4:30 am in Castle Valley, Utah. Never waste a new moon!

These are all 20 sec images at 3200 ISO, tripod-mounted Canon 6D with 14mm Rokinon lens. I used a small LED panel to illuminate the foreground subjects. Some light post-processing consisting of adjusting brightness and contrast, and some cropping.
