Normally when I photograph the Milky Way I use a wide angle lens to incorporate as much of the sky as possible. This shot I used basically the opposite technique and zoomed in close to the Milky Way for a close look. It was a little tricky finding the composition I wanted with the far off mountain range included. I also had to use a much shorter shutter speed than I normally do for capturing the stars because being zoomed in so close, you would see the movement of the stars through the sky even after 10 seconds. So if you look close, you can see the stars just starting to streak.
