Taking this photo at a tea plantation in central Taiwan. I wandered for a while to look for a potential viewpoint in the early morning. The sky was getting brighter and I was a little bit disappointed. Finding the betel nuts(similar to coconut trees) trees standing in a row on the hill behind me when I walked back to my room. That is it! I tried to make this photo simple with least elements-blue sky, black hill and the important star track. The difference of exposure time between the sky and the hill is more than 5-stops. The hill could be recorded as a silhouette. Long exposure time made a small track of the star moving. No need to increase saturation in workshop because the sky was so clear. Never give up, my friends! You never know where there is always a sweet exception.
