I had hiked all day from six a.m. I was exhausted. At the last minute, I realized it was my only chance for a star shot while in Jasper because of the moon cycles. So I kicked it out, and drove to a nearby bridge that gave me a great view of the night sky and stayed up all night shooting. The moon started to rise about 4 a.m. and cast a light on the coming clouds. I was thrilled when I finally got all my settings right to capture the magic of the moment and clicked this shot. I knew I had something special.
