In album Wonders Of The Night (1 photo) Take a minute to add +Mike Berenson to your circles and check out his killer astrophotography…. My next major challenge in my photography will be pano work to hopefully include some astrophotography in that mix… Reshared post from +Mike Berenson Fingers In The Fire I've had one of these horizon-to-horizon Milky Way captures in-mind for a little while now… just been waiting for the right spot to try it. And while I really went up to Windy Ridge to catch the Perseids Meteor Shower, I ended up liking the results of this effort even more than the couple of meteors I was able to catch. In this image, the Milky Way stretches behind a scraggly looking tree all the way from one horizon to the other – reaching over to the light pollution and glow from the rising moon to the east. The composite image you see here comes from 18 individual captures that featured a little light painting at both ends – captured up on Windy Ridge in the Bristlecone Pine area near Alma, Colorado and then stitched together with Microsoft ICE. #starrynights #starrysky #astrophotography #milkyway #panorama […]
