p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · The Road to Our Galaxy


This is the proverbial country road near the town of Felix, CA., not far from my home in Copperopolis in Northern California. The obvious focal point is the Milky Way, but in the right side of the image is Salt Spring Valley School---a one-room schoolhouse built in 1869 and preserved as a historical site. This is 3-image pano taken last night.

The following is a 17-image pano from which the above subset was taken. This represents "The Full Monty."

very nice.
I think the soft light in the foreground is what really sells it.

Thanks everyone. I've been working hard at refining my technique for night sky images. Nice to know it seems to be paying off.

Hey Jack,

Very cool looking. I like the stars, and I like the foreground elements. Nice thinking on how you set this up.

I love it - the low key colors look real and the details are there!

You really connected the heavens and the earth in a powerful way. And I never would have considered a night pano before seeing yours. Thanks!

FWIW...I've added the full pano to the first post. The full was processed separately from the original, but I think they're close.

As I just mentioned on another thread, I have for the most part tired of the uber hyper star shots and now gravitate toward more realistic renderings. These are beautiful! Great job!
