When You See the Southern Cross For the First Time
This image was shot at the Shephard's Tree Lodge in Pilanesberg, South Africa. I got up at 3:30 AM to see the Southern Cross for the first time in my life. The image is especially powerful as the Milky Way is prominently shown. The orange clouds and on the left side of the image are lit from Sun City resort, about 10 miles away. This image is the highest scoring image I have in my collection to date, scoring an 88/100 in a PPA Club Competition this past spring.
