Description

Taken a week ago (November 5th 2016) on Dartmoor (Devon, UK), I composed this photo not long after the moon had set in the West below the horizon. This view itself is facing West, with Shilstone Tor in the foreground and a section of Milky Way stretching up, with Cygnus about centre of the shot.

I've barely lit the tor rock with a torch during the 20 second expsure to bring out some detail as the immediate environment was extremely dark. All post processing was done in Lightroom and Nik Efex.
