This was shot at a pine plantation in Jarrahdale, Western Australia earlier this morning. With the Milky Way directly overhead there was a lot of sky to cover, hence the number of shots it took for this image. There are no Magellanic Clouds in this one as I pointed my camera in the other direction, towards the city of Perth, using the light pollution to silhouette the pine trees. The dirt road was light painted using a hand held spotlight (which took several attempts to NOT light the surrounding trees). The location itself is only 20km (12mi) from the outskirts of the city.
