From its underwater base, some label Mauna Kea the tallest mountain in the world.
My hands were shaking. Gusting winds, a Texan in Hawaii, and I was not dressed correctly for this shoot.
Look at this image long enough and it might help you cool off too.
And, if you feel the need to geek out a bit further…
When shooting the Milky Way my goals are bright sharp stars, capture the Apex, and no Moon.
While shooting you must determine if your current exposure settings are causing the stars to move ( Track ). Slightly moving stars are blurry stars.
After you’ve taken your shot, review your image in your camera’s viewfinder. Zoom in. Do you see the stars tracking?
If so, shorten your exposure time to compensate.
Shortening your exposure time ( less light ) will create a darker image.
Keep the new shorter exposure time by increasing the camera’s sensitivity to light. Increase your ISO.
Take another shot… Rinse and repeat.
On an inside note, I took this image on my birthday.
Maybe I can use it as a Headshot background ?
Keep cool.
