Milky Way at Lake Clifton, Western Australia
Nikon d5500
85mm
ISO 4000
f/2.2
Foreground: 40 x 10 seconds
Sky: 138 x 25 seconds
This is a 178 image panorama of the Milky Way setting above the thrombolites of Lake Clifton, about an hour south of Perth in Western Australia.
This was another test of a full panorama using my new 85mm lens. The first test was of the MW rising from the east, this time it's the MW setting towards the west. The first test had me chasing the core all night, it takes so long to shoot a row that the stars can move out of frame by the time you get back to that spot. This time I let the core set into the direction of my field of view and also went with 25 second exposures rather than 30, just to speed things up a bit :)
This lake is famous for its thrombolites, seen here in the foreground. They're microbial formations which have been part of our planet's landscape for billions of years. Lake Clifton is one of the few places in the world where you can see them now.
