Crater Lake is such an amazing place to shoot, either day or night. I stopped by this summer and it was my first "real" experience shooting the night sky and the Milky Way. This area offers extremely good conditions for this type of photography; dark skies, little to no light pollution, and high elevation. It doesn't hurt that a beautiful lake is the forefront of this destination. Please enjoy!!
Lots of other night and landscape photos on my webpage:
