What hindered my effort
MILKY WAY
The galaxy was erecting vertically fast, so I didn’t have a whole lot of time to compose the next shot. Since I couldn’t capture all three elements — waterfalls, peaks and the Milky Way — together, I decided to include my tent in the frame instead of the waterfalls. But in the end what hindered my effort to capture more shots of the Milky Way into the night turned out to be something else — mist. Once the cool cloud of tiny water droplets set in, my lens started fogging up like crazy. And doing long exposure any longer than 15 seconds was out of the question.
