Milky Way
Victoria Beyer
During the Wind River Photographers’ Retreat, a few of us photographers got together for an impromptu Milky Way photoshoot, since we could not pass up the incredibly clear skies of Wyoming. The sky appears to be two different colors in these images, and that has a lot to do with the direction I was facing and the light pollution that was visible. The top shot I took looking straight up at the sky. The second was a much lower angle, facing a mountain side. I think it’s that residual light that made the sky appear amber as opposed to blue. Of course in Photoshop you can accentuate any color you want, but I really keyed off of what the camera captured in these two cases.
