starry night

I have photographed this tree many times in daylight and always had the idea to shoot it in front of the Milky Way at night. After all, the weather conditions were good enough to put the long-planned idea into practice. I lit the tree with a YN 300 LED light and blended that shot into an exposure of the starry sky. The stars didn't come out as sharp as I had hoped, but shooting the Milky Way is a difficult thing. Of course, I didn't bring the perfect equipment with me. I didn't want to carry the heavy D800 up the mountain so I tried the best with the Fuji X-T3 and the 16mm F1.4.
