Arching over Alien Lands
Milky Way rising over the Wings area in New Mexico’s Bisti Badlands.
Spring is my preferred season to do MW nightscapes, as nothing beats the look of the low lying MW arch, rising behind an interesting landscape.
The problem is that you have to shoot this from a very dark sky site, as light pollution can easily outshine the low lying stars. In this panorama you can see the light dome of Farmington NM, located almost 40 miles north of Bisti, overpowering all stars on the left horizon.
EXIF
- Astro-modified Canon EOS 6D
- Samyang 24mm f/1.4
- LowLevel Lighting with 2 LED panels and 2 omnidirectional lights
- Untracked 6 panel panorama, each a stack of 5 x 12s @ ISO6400, individually stacked for the foreground (PS) and sky (fitswork)
- Stitched with PTGui
Thanks for all your comments and faves!
