That's really, really, nice. Any chance you could tell us details about exposure, ISO, etc?
I cant remember seeing the milkyway rising vertically like that. Its normally horizontal, when I look up.
Did you time your visit and location to coincide with the sky, and the 'chimney pot' or was it just coincidental?
Very nice photo.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
We have too much light pollution. On a good night you can see the milky way, but just a faint of it. It always amazes me how stunning it is when you can watch it in a clear, unpolluted sky!
Yeah, me to, so I had to ask before my imgination made mental images of trolls in underground houses
Are the photos straight off the camera or have they been 'enhanced' in some way ?
It's four exposures, 20 seconds f/2.8 iso 6400 each, loaded into PhotoShop as layers.
The layers are rotated to register them. (The world is turning so the stars appear to move between exposures)
Blending the layers in "Soft Light" mode increases the contrast pixel to pixel but reduces the fixed pattern noise and the foreground is then masked from the top three layers.
Sounds involved but fairly straight forward in practice.
