The Scorpion

[CapturingTheNight]

Hi all,

It's Back!
How lucky are we here in the southern hemisphere to be able to view and photograph this section of the Milky Way for about ten months in each year?

Wanted a really twisted and broken old tree for this one to mimic a scorpion somewhat. Taken early this morning. 5 image panorama with my 5D Mk II and the "nifty fifty" 50mm F/1.8 @ F/2.8

"The Scorpion"

Cheers
Greg

:) I was watching Scorpius rise from my front veranda this morning. :)
I'm so glad some one took advantage.
A lovely image.
