Drop dead gorgeous.

💀

But, but you spelt it wrong

True. Not every one is a composite, but this one is. Any decent night sky photographer familiar with the location can tell you the Milky Way center will never align in this way at Trillium Lake. Not sure why you're insisting it's not a blend, because it's obvious. It's a nice image, just be honest about its construction. lol

Long story short dude it's not a bad thing to blend or create a composite. Just own it. That's the issue we have on this thread.

But you couldn't have gotten this in the same shot as Hood. I have spent many, many nights at Trillium (I lived in PDX for a decade) and there's just no way. And as someone else pointed out, the Milky Way doesn't even orient in the direction in your photo. It had to be blended.

Del Gnar is THE FUCKING BEST TACOS!!

Georgia is beautiful. Would love to visit some day!

Georgia

Still in denial, OP is.

Dude really? How is this not composite? So you got the stars, reflection, and Hood in one exposure?

Visiting my folks in montrose, I get the greatest view of this range.

I read this first as Mt Sniffles and that's its name now in my head

Where is this in Oregon? I live there and would love to go on an adventure to see it.

Wow am great to know this thanks alot

i just booked a helicopter tour to see this in may. It looks awesome.

I’ve always loved lone trees in open fields

Waterfalls taken with a long exposure causes the water to blend into that silky smooth effect. Same for ocean if you take a very long exposure it can "flatten" the sea somewhat.

I proudly took a picture of my wife on a rock in a river in Thailand handheld (no tripod) with like a 4 second exposure, one of my best.

Agreed. OP is not being forthcoming about this image. There's no shame in being transparent, but gaslighting people doesn't fly with me.

Daaaaamn.

I took this same exact photo except mine has a sailboat in it.

Oh the colors in this one picture. Holy cow.
