p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Boot Arch and the Milky Way Core

This past trip coincided with a new moon so I tried photographing the core of the Milky Way for the first time, It was fun but I've got a lot to learn. I've tried various adjustments in both LR and PS but it became obvious that I don't know what I'm doing. This is my latest attempt so if anyone would take the time to give me input or point to to a good tutorial it would be appreciated.

G, that is awesome. Well thought out and executed. It deserves a prominent place on viewing wall.

Wow...if this is your first attempt, and it’s this good, I can’t wait to see the next one! Thanks for posting.

Either that was some serious beginners luck...Or you did much better than you're giving yourself credit for! Very well done!!!

If this was your first time, then you spent a hell of a lot of time researching how to do it, or you had someone there helping you, because it looks great!

Also, that rock arch is not conveniently located in the ABhills, so i'm inclined to think you were with a seasoned MW shooter.

Agree with the others that this is a fantastic first attempt! A personal choice but I might dial back the saturation just a little but for print I suspect this would look amazing just the way you have it.

Really well done!

Thanks but I think there was more luck than skill. :-)

This was truly my first try so I'm going with serious beginners luck.

Thank you for the complement.

I did take some time looking at what others have done so I did have a vision what I wanted to accomplish and no, I was all by myself. I camped in my van only a couple of hundred yards away so it was easy to get to, the bad news is I loss a cable release when I walked in

Awesome first attempt!
Is this a single image? I can never tell these days.
If multiple images, how did you process?
Very nice!

Great shot! I love that place.. It's definitely more crowded than back in 2010 but we can all agree it's a marvelous place, along with being a great jumping point for a Sierra backpacking trip. Love how the car lights on Movie Flat road kinda backlight the arch. Well done!!!!

By the way, what lens did you use for this? Seems wider than a 24mm, but perhaps not a 14mm (or maybe a cropped 14mm).
