Equipment Details:

Nikon D850, 14-24mm lens, shot at 24mm
ISO 2500. f/2.8. 8 sec.

I used a flashlight to lighten Lion Rock in the foreground.

Post-processing Details:

Lightroom Classic to increase highlights & decrease shadows, DeNoise AI to smooth out the noise. I should have shot a longer exposure to get more light

Image Details:

I went out that night to see if I could catch any straggling Perseid meteors. We saw quite a few but nothing was magical. However I got the incredible Milky Way with Jupiter right above the lion's nose & Saturn nearby. But the most exciting was to see the bioluminescence also in the seen. I had never seen it before & it added such a nice touch to the overall scene.
