Bryony's Astrophotography

Little Redfish Lake

The Redfish Lakes were so called because of the amount of salmon in the water. Overfishing has made that a thing of the past for now.
Bryony and I decided that this location was one of our favorites for the year, despite the constant traffic in and out of the popular touristy area, the reflections off the lake were incredible and the interesting lighting created by the headlights made for a very cool foreground. This is a lesson in how to make a pretty tall mountain range look very very small, the sky up here is HUGE and the prominence of the Milky Way tends to put large things in a small perspective. That night we had a good Aurora event and the airglow/skyglow colors were fantastic due to the increased solar activity. All in all this is a wonderful location to take pictures from and a night I won't ever forget.
