Milky Way

[LeGozt]

A view from somewhere in Australia ;p Enjoy!

You can see slight star-trails because it was a 30s long exposure, and the stars shifted a little.

Hey, I used a canon 1000d with tamron 17-50mm f2.8. Thanks for dropping by!

which part of australia? very nice photo! this is probably not visible by eye... how do u know its location and point at it?

Milky way is visible if the sky is dark, light pollution spoils the beauty of the night sky.
For wide field astrophotography, we can point anyway in the sky.
I am interested in wide field astrophotography, but hampered by the light polluted
sky in Singapore.

Thank you! I realised the stars weren't entirely in focus :cry: Wasted chance, but it was incredibly difficult to focus in such darkness :bsmilie:

This is actually within a training ground called Shoalwaterbay Training Area. I was there for Ex. Wallab . The milky way was actually visible because we're so many hundreds of km away from anything that the sky was absolutely pitch black. I just had to find a clear spot to deploy the tripod and snap away. ;p

I would have done a 2 hour long bulb exposure to capture the star trails around the polar axis but too bad I didn't bring my wireless trigger :cry:

Thanks for the comment bro!

Thank you for your kind comment!

I was desperate for maximum exposure, so I used 30s, f2.8 and ISO 1600 :bsmilie:

Yes, Australian skies are spectacularly clear. Thanks for dropping by!

nice shot!

and as what aquliaa (Hi! eagle constellation ) mentioned...singapore's light pollution drowns out almost all until only the brightest stars can be seen...thats why sg is very star-poor.

I get similar views here in New Zealand, only difference I guess is I can take the shots from my backyard in town

 

[learner99]

Thanks for the comment bro!

using manual focus and tuning to "infinity" usually works for me.. try if u can, not use such big aperture? else ur foreground OOF, not nice leh.... or juz leave out the foreground altogether....

Funny that you mentioned that, because that's exactly what I did. :bsmilie: Oh well..

And the f2.8 was to gather as much light as possible.. I didn't have my wireless trigger so I couldn't do more than 30s exposures. Btw the foreground isn't OOF, the trees moved in the wind! I'm guessing because both the trees and stars were so far away that it was as if they were all at infinity, and as such everything was in focus.

Thanks for dropping by!

ahhh... SWBTA

I was there twice during my army days. Beautiful night sky, but unfortunately I wasn't interested in photography yet.

Nice =)

nice attempt. consider using a tripod, mirror lock up, shutter release, small aperture (F8 or smaller), in 30secs, star trails shldn't have formed a lot, i think could be some camera shake.

thanks for sharing! Was it visble by naked eye? or spotted it using binocs/telescope etc first?
