Milkyway nightscapes

Day/Night transition

Photo from swltr's gallery.

SWLTR - that is sweet. I would share the ones I took in SW Wyoming from over teh weekend....but all you have to do is close your eyes and rub them and that is about all I got!

Think I am needing a better camera - the Lumiz FZ80 just isn't cutting it!

Damn nice job!

The Milky Way core reflected in Lake Wivenhoe as it set in the west last night. I've had this shot in mind for a while, so it was nice to be able to capture it last night. Panorama of 9x9 20 second exposures taken with my 6D and Samyang 24mm lens at f/2 and 3200 iso.

wow, this is amazing!

Hi all, here is another panorama from last Friday evening. This one was taken a bit earlier than the previous one that I posted above and the reflections were a bit better at this time. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (satellite galaxies of the Milky Way) can be seen at the far left.

It's a panorama made from a series of 15 sec exposures with my 6D and Samyang 24mm lens @ f/2 and 3600 iso.

Another great shot there S.R.M. what white balance did you use for this shot.

Thanks Steve

Beautiful. This photo definitely has a mood with the tree and shoreline. I am probably going to regret asking this question, but why do the reflections in the water show more movement than the stars? I should have payed more attention in class!
