Evelyn admiring the Milky Way!

Evelyn and I were up in Northfield, Maine last week for a vacation. We had no cell phone coverage, no internet and we really tried not to watch TV except to get updates on Irene. Instead we were serenaded to sleep by Loons and awaken by a Bald Eagle. We spent a lot of time on the boat dock at the house we rented admiring the view. We especially enjoyed the night time sky and the incredible view of the Milky Way. This image is of Evelyn taking in the incredible view.
I made the image using the Nikon D-300s, Tamron 10-24mm lens and the Vanguard Alta Plus 255CT tripod. I set the camera on Manual Mode, 30 second exposure, lens wide open and used a cable release to trigger the shutter. I like this technique because it is very representative of what we really see with our eyes. This image sort of sums up the relaxing atmosphere we enjoyed out on Bog Lake.

    Hello. I don’t know how to contact Evelyn or the photographer of this amazing picture. I am an artist and would like to use this picture in one of my collages. I would like to know who holds the copyright to this and what the procedure would be to get permission to use it.

    Thank you very much.
