It had been a cloudy week as the moon had finally dwindled enough for Milky Way photography. The forecast had been iffy but I figured it was still worth trying since this tree stump was not too far from our campsite. I stood for over an hour patiently waiting for the clouds to dissipate, wiping the inevitable dew drops off the lens. Finally, the Gods took pity on me and a small clearing happened for just enough time to capture this image.
These old trees presented themselves in the right orientation so I could resist capturing a Milky Way composition here.
Equipped with a lens warmer this time, it was a much easier experience photographing the Milky Way in Florida.
