The Sentinel

[CapturingTheNight (Greg)]

Hi all,

Came across this rock formation on a neighbors hill. It is three granite boulders on top of each other (but hard to see the bottom one). Lit up during one of the exposures with my head lamp. Over 180 degree panorama.



Cheers
Greg

Nice one Greg.
Skies are clearer than where I am ATM.
Well done.

[ourkind (Carlos)]

Beautiful!

Nice result Greg! How many frames in the pano?

[gregbradley]

Very nice Greg. I have a rock formation almost identical to that on my property. In fact the Milky Way mosaic I posted was using that rock but it wasn't lit up. Good idea.

Is this ISO 3200/ 30 secs F2.8?

Rock solid image that

If I may give an opinion though...The Milky Way looks awesome with great colour but I think the rock dominates the scene a bit too much and looks slightly out of place to me, maybe darken it in PS...of course may just be me

another cracker! Love it.
I dare say you would be running out of wall space to put these images up.

Thank you very much Mike Um.....15 or 16 vertical images from memory. Way overkill but like I have said before, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Thank you very much Greg Your pano actually made me remember about this rock formation. And yes ISO 3200, 30 seconds, F/2.8 and at 14mm focal length

"Rock solid" Thanks Mike It's a very valid opinion and I thank you for voicing it mate. I'll bear it in mind if I ever revisit this image.

Milky Way Scientists have just put this image up on their FB wall. I just seen it now on my FB. Congrats!

[CapturingTheNight (Greg)]

Yeah I just saw that. Thanks Steve. My message feeds on all the various sites I have it on have just exploded

[multiweb (Marc)]

Haha... very clever framing. Cool shot.

Thank you very much Marc
