Social Distance

The Image
A lone tree stands small beneath the Milky Way towering above.

The image is entitled “Social Distance” both due to the composition having a single tree all on its own and due to the current environment around the world during the timeframe that this image was photographed; the Covid-19 worldwide pandemic.

I’ve had this image in my head for a long time. Finally, I was able to make it an actual physical image! The Milky Way is very large, covering the sky from horizon to horizon. This image is comprised of eight individual images combined into one. After a long drive out into the plains of Colorado, and one cold night of photography, this is the final result.  A billion+ stars and one lone tree.

Good times!

Note: This is an early morning image and much of it is dark. Please see the notes on lighting below. For lighting tips, see here.
