milky way

Hi Folks. I've not been on here for a while, been distracted by doing some writing for a change, and didn't do a lot of photography in the last few years. However, I've been doing some more experimentation with shooting the Milky Way from an aircraft, and thought I would share a couple of recent...

Milky Way over mountains and lake

Milky way shot at Dungeness, Kent

Had a camping trip planned at Durdle Door, and managed to source a Samyang 24mm f/1.4 just before the trip. Shot on a Canon 5D classic, so low noise capabilities don't compete with modern cameras, but still happy enough with how it performed. Milky Way @ Durdle Door, UK by Rick Jeavons, on...

Hi Everyone!! It's been quite a while since my last post, which to be fair, also happened to be the MilkyWay lol Anyway, this is oldie for me, and I was over the moon when it got commended and also appeared in the Landscape Photographer of the year 2015 book. I've not done any astro...

Spent Friday evening over at Cwyfan Church on Anglesey. I was there mainly for the Milky Way but managed to snag a sunset picture too. Path to Salvation by Mark Boadey, on Flickr Galaxy Quest 2 by Mark Boadey, on Flickr

Hi..... I sometimes go through a black & white phase and end up re-processing certain previously taken colour images into monochrome but I'm often sceptical about whether star trails and/or milky way images work well in black & white. Even if I personally like them at the time of re-processing...

I've only ever tried Astro once before up at the Lone tree in Malham. That went well enough I guess. Last night however I tried something way out my comfort zone, a full Milky way arch over Snowdon in Snowdonia, Wales. To my untrained eye it looks great but I also know there are many errors...

It's back :) at 11mm Milky Way by Good Lux Photos, on Flickr 35mm Milky Way by Good Lux Photos, on Flickr 50mm Milky Way by Good Lux Photos, on Flickr The lake was so still at times reflections of the stars were visible in the water. A good start to the season!

If anyone out there is a fellow a6300 user, I'd be grateful for your thoughts! My question is this: Does the a6300 limit you to only JPEGs when taking long exposures? As I type that seems a daft question, but I've not been able to find anything on t'interwebs either way. The reason I ask is...

Another clear sky this morning to see the amazing milky way! PS3A9754-Pano-Edit by Good Lux Photos, on Flickr

Not my first attempt at the Milky Way, but not a pro either :P Taken last month at S. Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal. Basically, in the middle of the Atlantic. Panoramic with 4 or 5 photos (don't really remember...) Fuji X-E1 with Samyang 12mm. Larger version in Flickr :) Milky Way by Joao...

*please move to right post location* Hi all, I love looking at all the milky way posts i keep seeing, there amazing!! just got a question can the MilkyWay be shot anytime of the year or is it dependant on location (away from light pollution ofc) / country and what time of year ? Regards Broken

**dammit .. just realised there is a specific astro forum .. if a mod could be so kindly to move please** New moon phase along with clear sky meant a trip down to the Giants Causeway to see what could be seen. Sadly the core wasn't in the perfect position by the time it was really properly...

We had our family Holiday to Kos this year and I was able to capture the Milky Way just before the moon reared its light polluting head :-) Kos is amazing as there is no light pollution, wish we had skies as dark as this in the UK. Here is one of my favs that I took, you can see faintly a...

Despite it being midsummer and the moon currently full there was a brief window of clear sky after the moon early last Monday morning to capture a couple of shots of the milky way from our holiday cottage. Feedback and comments welcome and thanks for looking. Taken with a Nikon D7100 and...
