Milky Way (Singapore, July 2013)

Night sky was quite clear at around 9pm on 10 July 2013. But when I got to the location at around 9:15pm, high level clouds started to come in. However, I noticed that the part between sagittarius scorpio remained clear despite the incoming clouds. Set up equipment and "triggered" 40 shots straightaway. The resulting photo was affected by the incoming clouds on the left and light pollution on the right.
