Milky Way from Lockwwod Valley
Pretty much the same shot as above but different orientation and you can see a bit more of the foreground. Since the orientation of the shot cuts off the view to the southeast you don’t see the light pollution from LA. The light you see at the horizon is from the cities in the valleys towards the coast(Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, and Moorpark). Again the “Red Intensifier” filter was used with this shot.
