Free Photo Competition 2017 Week 39 : Entry Number 25

Photographers Comment

Thanks for the mark of excellence award and thanks to all those who voted for this picture. This was taken in the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa. Camera was a Canon 6D with a Samyang 14mm 2.4 manual lens (the new lens). This was a dry run for future astro photography. The tent is a small camping tent and I had to hike 2 km in the pitch dark at 21H00 to the top of a plateau to get the shot. There was quite a bit of setup in the dark. Time was short as the milky way was going down. Just standard post processing using Canon DPP software.
