The Final Frontier

Last one from our intergalactic expedition up the Sonoma Coast to chase the milky way. This sea arch is near Salt Point Beach and is a very special place. Thanks Miguel, for being our guide.

 

Please note, this image is a composite, as my intent was to use a longer focal length for the starfield to exaggerate the stars and simulate an alien planet. I used 25mm for the arch, which is bathed in moonlight, no light painting was used. I then shot the sky with 55mm and blended exposures. The milky way was actually in the same position behind the arch, not in a different part of the sky nor shot on a different day, haha.

 

Hope you like it!
