I captured this while on a 9 day - 85 mile trek in Peru's Cordillera Huayhuash range. This image is from the 2nd night on the track at the Laguna Carhuacocha Campsite. This trek was pretty difficult because it was pretty high altitude. For most of the hike the trail varied between 13k and 15k feet and reached a maximum of almost 17k feet. Even though the sky was mostly clear, the clouds always seemed to hover around the 20,000ft+ mountain peaks.
For anyone wondering how I captured this: I used a Sony A7s with the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 lens and captured a panorama of 3 images which I then stitched into the image above. Settings: 14mm, 30", f/1.8, ISO 8000.
I also captured a timelapse of the stars at this location and it's available here if you'd like to see it.

Oh my goodness!!! I am so impressed with this photo! The most important thing on my bucket list is to go to the middle of nowhere and be able to look up at night and see the Milky Way. I’ve always lived in the city and I can only imagine what I’ve been missing in the night sky. I’m happy for you that you got to experience this!

Is it okay if I use this as my iPhone wallpaper?
