Milky Way and Jupiter reflected in the Pacific Ocean.
This was the shot I wanted to shoot this year, yet it was a bit of an accident. It was late in the Milky Way season and that evening. I noticed that the wind had died down a bit and Jupiter was getting reflected in the ocean. I was shooting a star trail with my other camera and decided to just try an see what turned out. I shot 40 15 second exposures, 11 were not usable due to reflections from cars on PCH(and one guy who turned his car around), but I had enough shots to get both the setting Milky Way and Jupiter reflected in the waters of the Pacific.
