Live from Mars
Milkyway over Trona Pinnacles, CA
This composition was in my Dream List since last few years. Last year my attempt failed since I didn't know the exact spot from where I could get the Milkyway Arch. This time, I had done enough planning, study and maintained all the info together at one 'Place' on PicnPlace. When I got this chance couple weeks back, I took a 6 hour one side drive to this place. I knew exactly where to shoot from coz I had the GPS coordinates stored on PicnPlace. PicnPlace is an app available for iOS and Android cell phones.
About the Photograph:
This came out to be one of the most difficult shots for me. At this location, there's not enough ambiance light, but a weird light pollution too. The area is vast and it wasn't easy for me to place LLLs and light up the landscape.
So I did something differently. I took the landscape foreground pano pictures just before the moonset and Milkyway Panos after moonset. The camera fixed on the tripod ... and the tripod not moved once setup.
Details:
Total of 131 pictures to capture this whole landscape to my perfection.
Milkyway stacking done on Sequator.
Stitching the Panos, Blending them and further post processing in PS & LR.
