ATCA part2

[adavis (Andrew)]

Here is another shot from the ATCA shoot last weekend.
This is a very bright moon pano, but I hid the moon behind a dish ;-)

Canon EOS 7D
Tokina 11mm - 16mm zoom at 11mm
f2.8 @ ISO3200 @ 20 second exposures
2 rows of 14 vertical shots

Imagine if the Moon wasn't there! The Milky Way is dying to bust out

Great shot. I'd probably warp the edges a bit to try and get the horizon a bit straighter. It goes up and down a bit.

Yeah Im not quite finished with this one yet, the horizon was very warped originally, so this is a great improvement on what it was, but yes, I do agree that I need to get the horizon straight.

Nice image, except for the stars you would think that was taken during the day.

Thanks for the feedback guys

here is an adjusted version to appease Mike haha.
Also I removed the road edge posts, they were bothering me, and I tried to lift the Milky Way out a bit more, but not sure if I succeeded.

Looks great, how did you get the Milky Way to come out?
Awesome job, well done.

I separated the foreground from the background with a layer mask in photoshop and adjusted the levels and brightness and contrast to try and bring he milky way out a bit more.

Great shot Andrew. I like this one a lot. Also that is a great shade of blue.
