Across The Universe
Across The Universe
The Beatles
Words are flowing out
Like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
Are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light
Which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
Restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Headed out last night with two great mates, to shoot the Milky Way. First time shooting this since 2013, and I was excited to say the least. We knew before we left that the tide was high at Cathedral Rock, but we took a chance and went anyhow.
Well, mother nature won that battle, and there was no (safe) way we were getting around the headland to shoot it. So, we took the safe option and shot from the beach, whilst enjoying the silence, and having a beer at midnight.
So, this is the shot I had in my head, and because of the lack of access, I've blended this image to fulfill my needs.
My main reason for going, was to see how the camera performed, and also my Sigma 35mm F1.4.
I was really happy with the outcome. Some togs say you shouldnt shoot stars that wide open, but I'm happy with the results, and it also allowed me to shoot at iso 1000 - iso 1600 which dramatically reduced the noise levels in the final image.
All in all, a great learning experience, and I now know what I need to do over the coming months, and Milky Way season in the Southern Hemisphere.
Hope you like "Across The Universe"
Cheers, Mike
