19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Milky Way over Yosemite Valley
It was a tough hike getting to the Eagle Tower in mid April. There was still plenty of deep snow on the way up. At night, I encountered gusty wind. One of my cameras along with tripod that I used for timelapse were blown over the cliff. Even on a tripod, the camera was shaking constantly. I had to hold tripod with my hands. I took multiple sets of vertical shots in an attempt to catch the magnificent milky way arch. Only one set came out sharp.
