Drought breaker tour

We had another great night in central west NSW last night on our current road trip.

We have been staying in a town called West Wyalong. Fairly remote, about 400km west of Sydney.

Without a Moon, the landscapes are very dark. In some of my captures, I am timing the exposures so that headlights of tail lights of passing traffic provide some illumination. This panorama however is stitched from 14 panels each captured in darkness absent of any artificial lights except for car headlights on the far horizon. Unevenness can make the pano's difficult to stitch. I even recaptured one panel 4 times because my friend kept shining his torch and part illuminating my landscape. Hence the landscape in this image is lit only by starlight. The wheat silos are in small rail sidings. The rail line only transports wheat. The rail lines are not being used at the moment as there is no wheat to transport so I only had to contend with timing my exposures to miss the lights of occasional passing traffic.


Details

Camera : Pentax K1
Lens : Samyang 14mm f2.8 lens.
Each panel exposure is 30s f3.2 ISO 5000 x 14 panels
Lens profile corrections applied to individual captures prior to stitching. All processing done in Lightroom.
