Cradle of the stars

Having not done too much astrophotography, shooting this location was just a fun experiment that yielded results.

 

During my time exploring Lake St Clair & Cradle Mountain National Park, a ranger mentioned the stars would be particularly impressive that evening. Sure enough, as I was walking back to the car, a number of photographers had gathered at the edge of Dove Lake with their cameras pointing high.

Joining them, I learned astrophotography on the fly. The result was this image of Cradle Mountain, lit at blue hour by the setting sun and a galaxy of stars.
