Boat Under The Stars

[danny_bhoy]

Here's another shot from silly-o-clock in the morning on Holy Island with @nickjohnwatson.

Really is an amazing place and being able to see the Milky Way so clearly with the naked eye is just something else!

For anyone interested in the kit/settings:

- Canon 5DMKII
- Tamron 17-35 @ 17mm
- 30 Seconds
- ISO 2500
- f2.8
- Little bit of light painting on the boat.

As always, any and all comments/crit are gratefully received.

Captivating shot Danny.
Now if you could only do it again with the boat in water....

Thanks Ruth.

The boat was on a trailer and the water was just to the right of the frame so I'm sure a few swift pushes would have done the trick

I've just been looking at Nick's photo and realised I never commented on how well you've both positioned the Milky Way over the boat.

The boat is a bit 'in your face' for me but it's well composed and well lit. I hope the pair of you go out on another nocturnal trip again soon.
