Night 13 Milky Way Photography is at the Spouting Horn of Cook’s Chasm! This area really brought on safety challenges that kept us tucked in safely far back from the chasm and the life threatening crashing waves but it was also a little further back from the action of the blast of water the horn would create. Being that far back from the blast of water of the Spouting Horn made it tough to REALLY get this scene to shine. Tough to light and NOT over-light the rocks and really tough to get a better angle on the light.
Using Low-Level Lighting on full blast and higher up on one of the landing points of the switchbacking trail above us, we lit the area and the water from the Spouting Horn. It was enough light to see the water but not enough light to capture at a faster shutter than .5 seconds and using crazy high noise inducing ISOs of 250K+! If I tried to go longer on the shutter it only made the water blast look like a white spotlight coming out of the rocks and without seeing the action happen it was most likely impossible to interpret as a water spout.
Hopefully, my compromise of a smaller water blast gives enough context for the foreground under the Milky Way.
Light pollution from a nearby ship out off the coast made the few clouds that were remaining in the way of the core very bright orange. But we were lucky to have so much of the Milky Way visible that night after it rained for much of the day in the areas around us. I don’t really love this image, but it makes for an interesting experience while continuing on for 23 Straight Nights of Milky Way!
Night 14 we head out to Crater Lake for two nights at one of the BEST DARK and CLEAR skies you can find in North America for capturing the Milky Way!
