Following on from last years Milky Way shots found here > http://www.drewbuckleyphotography.com/blog/2010/09/16/milky-way-elegug-stacks/ & here > http://www.drewbuckleyphotography.com/blog/2010/10/12/milky-way-freshwater-west-hut/
I tried something new. Here we have the War Memorial at Freshwater West. Again using Stellarium, made sure I would be shooting the right direction and time to capture it along with the composition I had in mind in relation to the monument's position.
One image is the stars exposure, 25secs @ f/4, ISO 3200 to maximise light = more stars. Then another separate exposure for the memorial itself, lit up over a similar exposure time (but lower ISO) with a handheld torch from camera left.
Then merged in Photoshop. Really happy with the outcome and meets what I envisaged before getting to the location.
Thanks for looking!
