I have been working on a Milky Way project this summer and I started in a couple of Colorado locations and then had a little time before the Milky Way was gone for the season to do this shot. Having been here to shoot the Milky Way the year before, I wanted to capture it with more than just a 30 second high ISO image.
I have been working on two exposure blends utilizing a tracking mount so I can get more detail and less noise in the Milky Way and no star trailing. There is so much detail, nebula and dark lanes to be seen in longer exposures.
The first exposure of the foreground was done with a 45 second exposure and then blended with the Milky Way shot. The Milky Way exposure was 13 minutes at ISO 800 with a Nikon D810 and Nikon 14-24mm lens. Both exposure were taken with the Nikon D810 and 14-24mm lens at the same FL.
The Milky Way shot was taken in the campground nearby about an hour after sunset since I was unable to catch the Milky Way properly at the location of the tree due to the uneven terrain and the need for a fairly flat spot without worry of falling into the canyon.
The Milky Way in the image is very close to its exact location that evening. Within a few degrees anyway
Thanks everyone!
I have added the first edit of Ancient Light from some of the comments. This was the original edit and the tree and canyon darker than the second edit. I liked this one as well. Doesn\'t print so well like this but it does give a little better realism to the scene.
The second image \"Bonsai Light\" is an artistic rendition and the Milky Way is not quite accurately placed in the shot. It is off around 20 degrees or so. Just did it to be a little artistic on the composition. It was shot the same as the previous version with the Milky Way at a different angle and position in the sky later that night..
