Glory of The Night

Description

After camping for 4 nights and hiking for hours in windy and freezing weather at Crater lake, I was finally able to shoot the magnificent northern light and the Milkey Way with a clear sky above it.

After I arrived at Watchman peak, I waited for a while and the Milkey Way raised higher in the sky and I was lucky that the Aurora Borealis got stronger and I have both of them in my composition.

Hope you enjoy it!
Nikon D800, 14-24 Nikon lens, Stiched from 4 vertical shots.

Exif: F Number: 2.8, ExposureTime: 30/1 seconds, ISO: 6400,
