Busy night.

Both photos are fabulous, as usual! I can understand there were so many people in such a clear night!

it was a very nice night you where not cold but the wooden jetty is not great for movement so it was a case of stay still. this is hours drive from home down the coast. the night started very still no wind but when we got here it was starting to pick up, no stars on the water.

Really beautiful, we never see it. I saw the Milky Way once in Greek, many years ago. There is too much light.

you are right but there are places like this you could find but you would have to check

what i use myself you can see we are getting a light polluuted world alright.

another great one, could you give the EXIF's I think there are many people who would like to try this too.

thank fully the EXif is still the same

Nikon D600 full frame, Samyang 14mm F2.8 @2.8, ISO 3200 , WB 4000, 20 sec exposure taken as verticals on a calibrated tripod head movement 30 degrees. the key is the program you stitch with PTGui works the best you find no overlaps show as you see in most programs. a days stitch program does not make a good night stitch program this may help

many thanks Steve, one other question, do you use any kind of fillter?

14 mm lens is no easy one for filter so no but i could use one on my 16-35mm F4 but for the fact its an F4 and you loose even more light with the filter. fair question.

Wonderful night shot.

Thank you i did feel confined by the others but its all about respect as well not destroying there shots. end of season till next year...

Congrats for all these fantastic captures, Steve !!!

Glad it was work a view for you not some thing you would see close to Paris.

You make us dream, Steve ********************************

No dream HFF

HFF Steve or should I say Happy Fence Night? Yet another of your fantastic Milky Way bows, matched only by your own PiP. Very well done ☼

Have a Great weekend when it comes (its still Thursday in my part of the world), Herb

Herb how a real fence is at night. HFF ours will be a fine weekend.

Superb Milky Way bow shots, Steve. I've just been reading your notes on "how to" and see that you're using 10 shot panoramas - my poor computer would have a conniption if I hit it with that much at ~40mb each! And wishing you HFF and a great weekend.

This was done on a very old (8 year old) computer with 16 GB Ram it was slow but you can see the result i would give it a go. i had to update my computer as the old one started to fail i now have 32 GB Ram does make a difference but the old one did all the but the latest page on Ipernity. HFF to you enjoy the night.

Whow...I´m glad to see it on black in a big size Steve...a breathtaking shot!
HFF..and enjoy your weekend!

Not half as speculate as it is in real life even my wife found it so...... HFF make the most of your weekend.

An extraordinary shot here!!
When I enlarged it, admired!

HFF and have a great weekend!

Best wishes
