Single best pic you've ever taken

Milky Way over Rocky Mountain National Park

What did you have Ai do?

What did you have Ai do?

Zilch. Been taking nightscapes like this for years. Inside tip? Pentax dSLRs have built in star tracking using their sensors

If anyone wants nightscape tips I’d be happy to help, it’s wild what a good iPhone can do these days.

Idk if this is my “best” but is definitely my favorite. Taken with my Kodak 6MP camera (my first digital camera that took “good” photos) in 2009 north of the East Rosebud trail looking south over Medicine Lake as we were doing off trail LAC campsite surveys for USFS deep in the Beartooth wilderness. This picture was pivotal for me in that I had a blown up poster printed and hung in my bedroom wall in Ohio as a daily reminder of my goal to move west.

The leader of our crew asked me that day “do you think you’ll be back here.” I assuredly said yes. Did that hike again in 2017 but didn’t go up to that lake.

You can see the peaks are a little blurry from the star tracking. I should go back into Lightroom and see if I can find a ground exposure and stack them.

It is sometimes hard to narrow down.
Got one not hunting related.

And one hunting related.
