Milky Portwrinkle

It was a beautifully clear night last night to I went out with a few other photographers from the Liskeard Camera Club and we headed to Whitsand Bay, first stop was Rame Head which I’ve visited before but then we headed to Portwrinkle. This is one of my favourite beaches along Whitsand Bay as there’s a huge choice of compositions available, but inspired by a shot by Matt Stansfield I decided to take the Milky Way at the end of the old harbour wall… this is a shot I’ve taken many times during the day, but it was very special last night being on the rocks with the water flowing all around as the tide reseeded.

 

I’ve also been testing Sequator to stack the stars which really has improved the time it takes to merge multiple exposures, I wasn’t entire happy with the colour (though I don’t think that’s Sequator’s fault) so I decided to convert to monochrome and add a blue tint which gives it a bit of an “other worldly” feel.
