Christmas Meadows
Another weekend, another trip to the Uinta mountains to escape the heat. This time we went to Christmas Meadows, a place that has become extremely popular in recent years with campers and hikers. Also popular this year, the swarms of mosquitos out to get our blood! We had one clearish night with calm water along the river bends, we setup and got some good reflection shots before more thing clouds moved in and made the sky a bit too hazy to shoot. Lots of cabins and campfires along the river, provided some interesting lights long the hillside. All in all another fun trip!
8 exposures went into this image, all shot with a Nikon Z7 and Sigma Art 40mm on a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer mini tracking mount. Sky exposures are 1.5 minutes at ISO 800 and f1.8, foreground exposures are 1.5 minutes at ISO 800 and f1.4, water exposures are 45 seconds at ISO 3200 and f1.4.
