Probing the Cosmos

I took this earlier this summer when we were visiting the California Coast near Bodega Bay. Here we see a selfie of me playing with my new super-duper powerful LED Nitecore flashlight under the gorgeous Milky Way and light pollution of San Francisco.

Image Notes: Image is a composite, one frame for everything but the ocean detail which was light-painted in a separate shot by the same Nitecore flashlight on a lower setting with a diffuser in use.
