This shot was an after thought. My original plan was to do a timelapse of the Milky Way rising over the twin volcanoes Parinacota and Pomerape, reflected in a small glacial lake.

moon, venus and the milky way

There’s a story to this one. I set up 2 cameras the night before the conjunction on an isolated peak at the end of Cajón Del Maipo. The cameras were on a timer for timelapsing, so I would be long gone and sleeping in a warm bed at the refugio when they started firing.

bald head albany at night
