Dark Sky Milky Way photography -- The reason I joined Steemit
One of the main reason I joined Steemit was to share some of my dark sky Milky way photography. It gets me outside and away from the computer for long periods of time. I feel like we all need to be reminded to get out more and connect with the cosmos.
Here is the original panorama I created from merging seven plus photos together to get a wider landscape view of the Milky Way.
Do you like the original or the edited version?
Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave a comment or ask a question
Pictures look amazing.
Thank you, glad you appreciate the cosmos
I love your photos. They looks like theres a story to tell.
Thank you
Your welcome
Fantastic photos, again.
Yeah, these were the reason I got interested in your blog. Now you are also doing a pretty awesome job posting steemit (chart) memes. :)
ha ha, yes I cant help make fun of some of the content on Steemit.
Nice pics, I prefer the edited, it gives better glance of the picture, I think you should post more of this pictures, there are a lot of people you could inspire.
I appreciate that, and I plan to post more but they do require quite a bit more time and preparation as compared to other types of photography.
I love everything about space. I would like to be able to buy material to be able to observe it, I ask myself so much question. In any case very beautiful picture. I especially love the first
Space rocks, I never get tired of looking up
nice pics. i kindy like the edited one better.
Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it
I love the edited version, because of the colors :-)
I agree, the edit makes it pop more
Night sky and star photography always have the same effect on me... Makes my jaw drop....
You just got a new follower, @azfix :))
Thanks @brumest I am always happy when I fine others who appreciate the dark sky.
I like all types of skies actually, but more into drama clouds during sunsets and sunrises.
I have quite a few sunset photos, they are much easier to get than Milky way photos
Yeaa, for those you need to do long exposures, having the right lens with infinite focus (that's as far as my knowledgeon goes) ... I never tried it but I sure want to.
Also make sure the sky is clear and within 3 to 4 days before or after a new moon so you get as little light reflected from the moon as possible. The less light that enters the camera from the moon the more brilliant the milky way will be.
Cool tip, @azfix. That I didn't know. I guess every detail counts on that type of photography.
ha ha , yes I learned it all the hard way so I try and save people new to it the trouble.
Congrats @azfix. Your photo made it on the Top Photographs Daily Selection today :). Upvoted and Resteemd!
