The Light in the Night

20mm · f/2.5 · 20s · ISO 1000, 8000

After gaining the owners permission to photograph this old farmhouse a brave friend and I placed a headlamp inside in 3 different places to light the house and waited for the alignment of the milky way above. I imagine many hearty meals were eaten here, joy was felt, and many hardships must have been faced in this rugged part of Oregon as settlers founded this land.

That's a really nice image. Well done. I might tone the lights down a bit in the windows though. They are pretty distracting, but that is a matter of taste. But basically fantastic.

I really appreciate the feedback. I can see how that would make the milky way just a little more the "star" of the image. Thanks Kevin.

Thanks Rich, I aim for a dreamy feel in all my photos. Appreciate the feedback :)

Love the shot, would also tone down or switch windows to off white or something less distracting. Night sky is stunning.

It's images like this that make me wonder why I left Burns for Binghamton, NY. (Sigh)

Also, have to reinforce my approval for seeking permission to shoot on private land. Well done. :)
