Milky Way on the Boy Scout Camp Road in Lockwood Valley.(Fisheye)
The Milky Way arc is almost completely visible with Jupiter at the upper right and Mars peaking though the trees. After taking a few shots with my Milky Way lens(a 12mm, f/2), I broke out the fisheye lens(10mm, f/3.5). After completing these fisheye shots, I decided to drive to the end of the Boy Scout Camp Road and show Madame the Boy Scout Camp that I went to when I was a young photographer. I had told her about the suicidal rabbits of Lockwood Valley, but she had not believed me until she saw a couple of rabbits run into the road as soon as they saw my car headlights.
