Curving Under the Milky Way - a photo on Flickriver

            Route 108 in Vermont is a very popular photography destination during the fall foliage season. I wanted to try something a bit different before the red and orange leaves fill the winding roads. I photographed the Milky Way rising over the notch last year from the Sterling Pond parking lot, and since then I've been planning different compositions. Last Thursday I made my way up the roads and found a nice area where the road curved its way into the trees.

This is panorama made of 11 vertical images. The real challenge was just waiting for cars to drive away from me to get the light trails for one exposure and then tilting the camera up and waiting for another car to drive by and have the lights expose from of the hanging trees branches. You'd be surprised how many cars came up the road towards me and the headlight would just turn into a huge overexposed blob in the picture. I guess stitching and aligning the Milky Way was also bit challenging as well.
