I could easily include a very large narrative with this image, describing technical information and the journey it took to be able to complete this shot. While far from technically great, I am very happy that I captured this image during my first attempt to photograph the Milky Way.

 

I have admired this form of photography for a long time, and am now very excited to make this part of my passion. Whether you put little or great effort in to this kind of photography, the adventure and results can be memorable.

 

I decided that I wanted to put great effort into my first shot. After a night and sunrise of shooting, it took about two hours of post-processing to complete an image which came pretty close to what I had envisioned.
