I spent 5 hours early this morning sitting in a lawn chair located on a deserted beach just south of the 7 Mile Bridge on the Florida Overseas Highway (30 miles from Key West). I had spent the night photographing the stars and the Milky Way. This image was taken as dawn broke in the eastern sky and banished the night and the Milky Way from the sky. It was a enchanting and emotional moment along with being a moment of tranquillity after a year of stress caused by the pandemic. It offered a moment of hope for a better day. A shooting star was a special bonus.
Captured with a Nikon D850, 24-70mm lens ISO 1000, 15 seconds, f2.i8

Wow Larry.
That is beautiful!
Is the lighting on the tree from the Sunup or did you do some painting with light?
Great work!
Thank you for looking and commenting.
Wow! I expected a picture of a Morning Glory.
No flower could ever look this good!

Thanks for looking. It really is not hard to do. Google Photographing the Milky Way for an easy set of instructions.
My pleasure and thanks for looking.
Outstanding, Larry. Everything you post brightens my day.

In spite of how bright this looks, it was still quite dark. Light painting with my LED headlamp from a 45 degree angle was applied.
