Milky Way At Trona Pinnacles

Had a great time wandering the desert and snapping photos of the Milky Way at Trona Pinnacles near Trona, CA. Definitely a nice spot for night sky photography.

Hope others enjoy the photos.

Thanks guys!

#2 is a panorama of 11 vertical frames. Didn't do any light painting. There was a little ambient light from a bit of light pollution and it seemed like that made it really easy to brighten the foreground up a bit in PS.

Good stuff, Evan. The second shot is truly exceptional. Keep them coming.
