Week #2 - Milky Way
by Dale R. Palmer

I spent last night from 1am to 2am photographing the Milky Way. Best I can tell such photos require a bit of post processing to bring out the stars, Milky Way, color, contrast, etc. I'm still learning and have signed up for a workshop in two weeks to guide me through the process. Meanwhile here is my photo of the week.

Canon EOS Rebel T5i
25s f/4.0 at 10.0mm iso1600 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

GORGEOUS!!! The kind of shot you want to frame and hang on your wall...or ceiling!

The stuff at the bottom is beach and waves hitting the beach. The waves are smoothed out by the 25 second exposure.

Cool project. This came out well for a beginning attempt. However, you might think about cropping out whatever that is at the bottom. The workshop should be fun.

Hey, that's cool, Dale! Good for you for tackling something new like this. It came out quite well. We'll look forward to seeing more of the night skies from you!
