Beginner Milky Way over Matapouri, New Zealand

[peterh_602]

Hi

I spent a couple of nights there recently and one was very clear. Unfortunately, there was a fullish moon early on and, by the time it had set, the Milky Way was too high in the sky to get a decent forground in the image. My first attempt at processing this type of image, so any comments are welcome!

Lovely Milky way!!!

Thank you, Sara. After admiring your work for a while, it's praise indeed! I've a long way to go though...

The next thing would be to get some foreground interest and do it all over again

My work is very different ...... I can't do Milky Way shots

Thanks Adrian! The details are on Flickr, but I used a Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8 on a Nikon D750
