Suru Valley Resort

The pre sunset gloom of cloudy skies and heavy showers gave way to the glorious sunset, which lifted my spirits. It was even better when darkness descended to reveal a glittering star filled sky. I shot the foreground son after the Blue hour from the viewing platform within the Resort. After a gap of nearly one and a half hours, during which I had a hot meal and chatted up an old Facebook friend Ashish Kamble of IPE, I shot the Milky Way. The sky is a stack of 15 tracked (with Benro Polaris) images.
