A little bit of the back story behind this photo, It was hard to find an angle where the milkyway was fully in view along with the glowing blue bioluminescence at Cape Flattery.
So I finally found a spot that I could prop up my camera (on the edge of a very sketchy cliff) and shoot away. The wind was blowing so hard at this point that the dust from the cliff was covering my body. Not wanting to miss the show while I took the photo I put my hood up and tied it around my chin so that just my eyes were exposed then I used the camera to block the flying dust. 💨
From here I watched as the ocean glowed and the milkyway moved across the sky. I stayed in this spot for over an hour to make sure I got the photo to perfectly depict all of the details I was experiencing. 💙💫
If you look at the middle right of the photo you can see the white streaks of mist blowing across the water. This was the perfect depiction of the movement of the wind during this shoot I even took a video I'll share later of this moment so that you can see the bioluminescence and stars and hear the intensity of the wind 🌬
You might be thinking, "was this really worth it?" To that I say ABSOLUTELY. Even though the conditions were a bit difficult to bear, the joy I recieve from capturing a scene in all of its natural wonder far outweighs the struggle. 🙌
