Kaza, Himachal Pradesh Astrophotography

Kaza Himachal Pradesh Astrophotography
Photography by: Jayant Mudgil

Kaza is a small town of the remote valley in the western Himachal Pradesh. This is my first attempt of astrophotography. I took this shot in an open field.

When I started shooting I chose a tree as my foreground and even after 15-20 shots from different angles and positions I failed to capture the Milky Way every time.After 15-20 attempts and 2 hours of hard work I was returning back to my car, my parents were sitting in the car with the lights on and that scene was looking beautiful. So I made up my mind to try once more and this picture was the result.
