Aysgarth Falls and the Milkyway
Nearing the end of August, the Milkyway is quite splendid over the North Yorkshire, UK skies. I had been planing a night-time trip to Aysgarth falls in the Yorkshire Dales for some time and was fortunate to be met with perfect conditions.
The foreground was taken at the end of the blue hour, ISO 1600, 30 second exposure at 10mm and F2.8. I didn't want too long an exposure time to prevent the water in the falls becoming too creamy without any detail.
Half an hour later the skies were proper dark and I began taking images. ISO 6400, 10mm, 20 seconds at F2.8.
Processing consisted of stacking 25 night images in Sequator, The light polution gradient was removed using the excellent Graxpert software which also performed streching to reveal star detail. The foregoround image was added and final edits performed in Capture One.
