Penedos, Milky way

YESTERDAY NIGHT THERE WAS NO VISIBLE MOON BUT I COULD NOT AVOID SOME LIGHT POLLUTION FAR SOUTH.
I JUS ENLIGHTENED THE TREE FOR 1SECOND WITH A FLASHLIGHT TO PRODUCE THIS EFFECT.
IN POST PROCESSING I JUST CORRECTED THE LIGHT ON THE TREE. ONE THING I MOSTLY APPRECIATE WITH MY CAMERA IS THAT PROCESSING IS NUL OR REDUCED, MOST TIMES I USE PHOTOSHOP ONLY TO GIVE A TITTLE AND KEEP THEM ON THE LIBRARY.

PLS VIEW ON BLACK

Beautiful night shot, Isabel. This time I would be curious to see what iy might look like without the light pollution. I have a feeling it would be even more numinous!

Xata ^club has replied to Annalia S.

It is funny because I was in the middle of nowhere and very far from any village. The red lights are from eolic generators 20 km away... it is incredible how they pollute...

Wonderful that you can see the milky way! Where (and back when) I grew up there was little light pollution in our small town, and I saw it often. Not here in our small city., unfortunately.

Xata ^club has replied to rdhinmn ^club

When I was a kid we used to see it a lot better but villages had no public light and night was night, we had fireflies... now not even one.

rdhinmn ^club has replied to Xata ^club

Sorry to hear about the fireflies. When we moved North for the first few years I was glad to see one or two in late June. Now there are hundreds in the field across the parkway, and dozens in our own lawn. I love to see them.

Hi Isabel

A very nice picture, which I am very impressed with!

I have never even seen the Milky Way, never mind been able to make a picture of it!

Best Wishes,a nice week, and stay safe!!

Peter Castell ^club

A wonderful effect Isabel, I had noticed the distant lights in one of the other shots, it would be wonderful if we could have the occasional dark night, it's hopeless where I live with the lights from Leicester and the street lights, I don't like gardens full of solar powered LED lights

4 years ago.

Xata ^club has replied to Peter Castell ^club

What annoys me is that being in the middle of nowhere there is always some light... I miss so much the nights we had when village had no public lights ... and I assure you that nobody fell (except if too much drink), even old people used to find their way in the darkness...

Isabel it is nice to see the Milky way In someone else's photos. I am playing in the very bottom of your shot as I wait for clouds to pass and give me a night. Top marks I did tell you it was easy. Tip Hid the flash light behind a cloth even a white towel for the 8 Seconds better lighting more like Low Level Lighting than try a bright burst..

I have added a few PIP's you can remove if you wish.

Xata ^club has replied to Steve Paxton ^club

Thanks for the tip, Steve, I will use it next time, I tried to disminish the light with my hand but not very easy doing it all without help.
I love the idea of your PIPs in complement to my picture, it is an added value, and that is how things should always be between people...

Perfekt!
Kennst Du Sequator?
Damit kann man Mehrfachbelichtungen des Sternenhimmels machen, um noch bessere Nachtbilder zu bekommen.

Xata ^club has replied to Bergfex ^club

No I don't... I am a "simple" photographer, still in my mind close to analogic philosophy, so I try to get my shots SOOC with no or little post processing needed.
But I will have a look at the Sequator then...

A wonderful night capture Isabel. Always great to see the Milky Way like this and you have captured it admirably. I, like Gudrun above very rarely get to see the Milky Way nor indeed many stars for light pollution from our cities and constant rain cloud. Love the way you have caught the tree in your flash too making it reach out to the stars. Very well done -Love it. ⭐

Best Wished, Herb
