Milking Our Galaxy

I took this photo in Nelson, NV, a Ghost Town that is very close to my stargazing and imaging spot. It was my first time actually trying light painting on huge objects such as this tower and the vehicles. It took a bit of trial and error but I am pretty happy about the final image. This beautiful town is in a Bortle 3 zone, the Milky Way was, to the naked eye, grey/blue but had obvious details.

 

Walking around the town wasn't relaxing. We had to have our torch light towards the ground at all times in case there was snakes or huge spiders. We could also hear coyotes barking very loud inside the town itself...

 

I hope to do a few Milky Way shots like this one before the next Winter, let me know what you think!
