The milky way rises behind a pair of giant boulders along Hwy 395 near Mono Lake. Miguel and I did some light painting to kickoff the adventure, and due to the lateness of the hour, camped here as well.
Big. Gigantic. Ants.

This is a composite using the DFA 25mm f/4 on the 645Z. I used my headlamp for most of the light painting. A series of ground exposures were blended for noise reduction, as well as approx 22, 13 sec exposures, at ISO 6400, processed with Sequator.

Thanks for looking.
