Southern Ocean Milky Way

[TidaLpHasE]

:)Hi all, i got this pic last night while driving home along the Great Ocean Road.

I couldn't resist the lure of the stars on the ocean urging me to stop and set the tripod up.

This is a 73 second exposure iso 1600 f3.5 10-22mm on the 350D.

Comments welcome.

Wow Trevor,

Very tasteful. That is a stunning pic. No wonder you stopped and took it.

I agree with the other Ken, stunning to say the least, something different must have been the force.

Great shot

Trevor,

That is one of the most stunning, emotive and beautiful images ever posted here.

Simply incredible.

Pity about the cloud, although they kind of add to the composition.

I can't take my eyes off it.

Well done.

Regards,
Humayun

Wow Trevor. That is beautiful. I think the clouds add to the shot. And I love the way the starlight lights up the foam of the surf, almost like moonlight
