Milky Way over Ruth Mt.

Taken on a hike in late July, this was my first thoughtfully composed

milky way photo, as I had mostly done star trails before. I had not

checked the calendar and the moon happened to come out as I was

beginning my photos that night, taking away some starlight but adding

to the photo with the light on the mountains. Overall, I'm very

pleased with this as my first try at the milky way. All comments and

critique welcome. Taken at ISO 1600, 30 seconds, F4, 10mm.
