Description

I've been waiting to take this shot for a long time now. I wasn't sure whether the lights in town and on the bridge would interfere. I headed to the beach around 11:30pm in the evening, set up my tripod, and took a 30-second exposure. The Milky Way was there, clear as could be. I dropped my ISO to 100, then started dropping my exposure until the stars no longer stretched, which was 15 seconds at 20mm. I set the ISO up to 320 to capture some more detail, then shot 5 consecutive 15-second shots that I stacked. In fact, the foreground is the foreground of the photograph and not something blended from an earlier shot. I realized later when I looked at it that I was seeing a bridge to the stars ... right above the bridge to the bars.
