The Milky Way Over Superstition Mountain

CATEGORY: Blend/Stacked

STORY
There was a 3-hour window to shoot the Milky Way on Sunday night, so a fellow photograher and I decided to make the most of it and head out into the Superstitions. The shot is a blend of a 4 minute 16 second foreground & a stack for the Milky Way. I’ve been experimenting with really long exposures lately & feel like everything finally came together on this shot. There was a lot of light pollution from Phoenix and the light pollution reduction feature in Sequator made a huge difference.

Great playtime image, I also am not afraid of ground light but have not gotten to the blending and this encourages me to learn.

Austin, Texas Blue Hour

Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.

Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!

Any interest in this group?

Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?
