Also, sorry but I gotta ask. Was the MW really located behind Half Dome when you took the photos? This has to be looking nearly due East. I ask because I was at Glacier Point a month earlier (07/14/15) than the EXIF states this image was taken, and the most visible section of the MW was much further South at 10:00pm. In fact, a month later than that (in August), it was even further southwest.
I like the comp, but the image looks contrived to me. If I’m wrong, please accept my apologies. But I see waaay too many “assembled” MW photos that are trying to be passed-off as authentic.

Hey Jack,
I appreciate your comments. No offense taken in any of it.
As for the Milky Way, it was not moved, it's where it was. I am not really into moving Milky Ways around the sky myself. I went back and looked at my Raws real quick, and the Meat of the Milky Way was to the left of Half Dome when we started shooting about 9:30. By about 2:30 it had swing to the right enough that it was over Half Dome, by 5am the Milky Way had swing to where the Meat of it was to the far right of Half Dome.
So no assembling on this shot, other then placing the meteors into the places. And I answered the question about the blue tone in response in my previous reply, I did the best I could to not have a blue tones MW.
Thanks,
Jim
