This past summer I was out with Jeff Clow’s Dirt Cheap Photo Tour group doing some teaching on long exposures and light painting in the Grand Tetons. Jeff decided to take us out to the abandoned cabin from the set of Shane out in Antelope Flats and get us away from the city lights. I captured this image looking away from the cabin. Nothing like a star filled sky away from the city.

Great capture Rick! I love Milky Way shots. I wish my camera’s ISO would go higher to get something like this.
Fantastic shot Rick. I really want to do some star shooting but I have to get away from the city.
Stunning shot Rick. Love the silhouette and the color of the sky.
totally awesome Rick!!
That is pretty damn awesome!
Saw this on G+, looks better here. Larger. Sweet view.
Awesome capture Rick! Dark sky trips out west are definitely on my bucket list.
This is brilliant! Great shot.
Stunning sky in this, Rick. Awesome work, man.
You nailed this one Rick. You are correct! Nothing quite like it. Well done! I will check out the photo tours for when I get back to the States! Thanks!

[...] Shane’s Milky Way – nighttime photography can produce breathtaking results, and in this shot as delivered by the good folks at Hansrico Photography really shows why. The beautiful stars paint such a wonderful scene on the night sky, which in turn is punctuated by the wonderful silhouette of the trees. [...]
