We had a great time during our April Milky Way workshop! Mother Nature treated us to clear skies each night and we visited a number of amazing locations. This 3-frame horizontal pano was the final one of the workshop and was done in 2-passes. The first pass was for the sky at ISO 10,000, f2.8, 15mm, 13sec. 6 shots were stacked prior to merging to panoramic. The second pass was for the foreground and was shot at ISO 1600, f2.8, 15mm, 4min for better detail retention.

A major magnetic storm bombarding planet earth, creating a magical aurora with amazing colors at Thingvellir, Iceland. A panorama stitched together from 21 images.

Shot last night at Glacier Point, Yosemite.
Pano of 5 shots stitched in PS. Used Topaz denoise for the first time. Impressive results for this software.

This is a shot I had envisioned for qAhh...the high you feel when a shot comes together!
I had envisioned this image for quite a while and I was elated when I finally made it happen! It required so many things to line up. First, clear skies during an early spring Milky Way. Second, sufficient snow coverage to help illuminate the landscape at night. Third, low wind for the long exposures. Fourth, stable snow conditions to minimize avalanche danger. And finally, the most elusive and scarce element, time (I'm usually running Milky Way Workshops in the Southwest in Spring)!
We set off late in the evening and arrived just before the Milky way was in the prime position. We set up a small tent as a prop and felt it added additional interest to the pano. In the darkest hours of the night, we were like two kids beaming with glee!
Tech Specs: I did two passes for this pano - all at 17mm. First pass was for the sky at 10sec ISO 10,000, f/2.8. I stacked 8 shots for noise reduction. I then took a second pass for the foreground (same exact position) and took that at 45sec ISO 3200 for improved landscape detail.

Soffio sottile come brezza e' la carezza del tuo sguardo. Nella contemplazione dell'azzurro, sento la pace dell'anima e ogni creatura rappresenta vera armonia dell'universo.
Guilderton lighthouse, a favourite of mine.
On this night, we see a garden of celestial objects with Venus setting towards the western sky, illuminated by the Zodical Lights.
Saturn stands close to Antares and Mars transits the core of the Milky Way. On the left of the frame is the Large Magellanic Cloud, just above the light pollution coming from Perth city.
This panorama consists of 30 individual frames.

Milky Way Pano - Shenandoah National Park, VA
I finally got my opportunity at shooting a Milky Way panorama while its arc was low, and w/o having to use a fish eye or super wide lens to do so. It is only in this position for a few short weeks in Spring here in Virginia. I missed out last year due to the only clear nights being on weekday work nights, and that was the case again this year, but I bit the bullet this year and done it. Yeah, not a pleasant day at work afterwards, but to me it was worth it.
During the first of the month of April, around 3am, its arc is centered East at about 25° high when it rises and it stretches from South to North. By the end of the month, it stands about 35° high. Since the peak of the Milky Way’s arc is so low in April, this is the time to shoot panoramas that show it stretching across the frame. By the first of the month in May, the peak of its arc is about 40° high. By the end of May, its arc is high in the sky, and will continue to be until next April.

THANKS FOR VIEWING!

After chasing this shot for a couple of years its nice to finally cross it off the list!

The Milky Rises over Sedona's Thunder Mountain as seen from one of the many sandstone caves that can be found in the area. The orange glow is from the city of Sedona. The purple hues along the horizon is from smoke from nearby wildfires.
The exposure time shown is for the blue hour shot I took earlier. I then moved to the mouth of the cave to shoot the night sky an hour and a half or so later with a star tracker. That exposure was 4 minutes at f/4 and iso 800. The resulting images were then blended in photoshop to achieve this final image.
