Stargate - a photo on Flickriver

Stargate

            Ya got yer STARS, ya got yer GATE...

Beyond Mono Lake, almost to the Nevada border, there is a lovely and curious old stone corral near a place called River Spring.

We made our way here after the Lake Crowley hike, and still had a couple hours before the milky way got into position.

I used several light painting passes with my LED panel, to create this composite image of the gate, a stone wall, and the distant corral. In truth, it was completely dark on a moonless night, and rather windy.

The milky way was captured in a stack of 44, 13 sec images at ISO8000, processed using Sequator.

Because there were no cities to the immediate east nor south of us, there was a distinct lack of light pollution on the horizon, a real treat from this location. It is classified Bortle-1.

Lens is the DFA 35mm on the 645Z.
