Thanks! ISO 3200 and f/2.8 and it still barely gathered any light. It gets suuuuuper dark out there! :cool:

Some incredible shots in this thread! Can't believe I'm just now seeing this. Love a lot of them but Todd's shot in the Bisti Badlands is great. Here are a few I took this past summer around Rainier.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it! The first was taken on the northeast side of Rainier about a half mile from the Sunrise parking lot. f/2.8, ISO 3200, 30 seconds I believe. Had to wait about a half hour for the fog to sink low enough I could even see the sky. Had planned on shooting a timelapse from here but the fog wouldn't cooperate, it rose back up again after only a couple minutes and brought the visibility down to about 50 feet. It's feast or famine around Rainier.

As with most Milky Way shots, quite a bit of processing was needed. I did most in Lightroom to bring out the Milky Way then increased the luminance of the mountain a bit with levels and curves in Photoshop. Still working on my technique to process the Milky Way, it's a never ending path of discovery!

is it better to shoot at lower ISO and larger aperture, or high ISO and small aperture? Also, is this worth trying if the widest lens you have is 50mm? Do you figure out where to point by trial and error?

High ISO, large aperture; the widest you can get and still be sharp enough (however you choose to define that). 50mm can get you some nice Milky Ways, especially on FF, though wider is more commonly used.
