The ultimate selfie – Driving through the Star Field! :)
I had a lot of fun up on the ridge taking photos of the Milky Way, and a lot of them featured my car. I decided it would be better if I was part of the shot - driving through the star field :)
I love the reflections of the stars on the car. I experimented with different lighting to light myself up in the car, and had to stay still for 20 seconds!
Canon 6D, 14-24mm lens @ 24mm, 20s exposure, ISO6400.

Thanks for looking!

Look good. A big grin would've gone well.
When cameras get fast enough, I want to see one with stars under the tyres!;):lol:

Very cool shot Mike:thumbsup: Love the reflections.
I dunno? I think you held the right pose. :D Holding a smile for 20 seconds is pretty hard to do without cracking up :lol: or feeling silly :)
Oh, and I think you may have run over M8. ;)

Lucky you had a Milky Way to stave off the hunger eh?
OK, that's enough ;)

Now, I know astronomers have good night vision but..... maybe headlights would be a good idea whilst driving at night :P

Thanks for the comments Mike :) I agree a smile would've been good - I was too busy thinking about how much to light up the inside of the car (and my face) and trying to stay still :)
Thanks Al :)
Thanks Derek!
haha exactly! :) Thanks Rod :)
The car was so dirty too, but the reflections still show up!
Thanks Col!!
Thanks Greg, glad you enjoyed it. Yeh it's a CX-5. I agree, great car!
haha nice one :)
haha yeh someone else suggested that too. Would've been good but would've been too bright for the single exposure.
Thanks Rolf, appreciate the comment.

Clever shot, well done :thumbsup: Another variation could be jumping to the other seat before the exposure is up and presto - two Mikes ;)

Nice Work, Mike.
And a great car, is it my eyes/colour cast or is your the dark blue as well. I picked up mine earlier this year. It has even survived a Roo (although I saw the silly thing early enough and probably only hit it at 20km/h) Only a small scratch and tuff of fur in the grill apart from that the car was perfectly fine.
