So I spent another night donating blood to the mosquitos in Everglades NP this time in Flamingo where I was able to use the Florida Bay and some trees as compositional elements along with some distant light pollution.

Canon 6D, 14mm Samyang 2.8, 30s at f/2.8, again no metering just adjusted ISO and shutter speeds to get a good histogram, ISO 6400,

Hi Don - Nice shot. The Milky Way and stars look great. I think I would prefer it if the tree was a little less centered left to right.

TFS,
Rachel

Spectacular capture, Don! I too wish the tree was a bit more off-centered, and more separated from the milky way line.

The nights are cooling down here also if where lucky they get into the mid 80s with 50% humidity and it takes a whole hour to sweat through your shirt:S3:

The sky looks good, I actually prefer some moonlight on night photos after I learned the tricks.
You do not get the milky way, but a starry night scene with the land lit up a bit.
