East Coast Milky Way

[ourkind (Carlos)]

The Milky Way rises somewhere off the coast of Sydney. Taken last night between gaps in the pesky clouds.

Full resolution in my flickr photostream.

Thanks for looking

Nice image Carlos. I think the sky could be darkened up to provide a more dramatic image. Nice silky look to the ocean.

Superb shot Carlos. I actually like how you've kept everything bright. Looks almost like daylight.

Thanks for your comments Paul, yes I agree I think the sky could use some darkening, I keep looking at it and feel like it needs a change it almost looks too purple

Nice one Carlos! I'll have to try the "magic glove" technique one day.

Cheers,

Unique take on it, I like the clouds and mix of day/night due to the moon

Thanks Stephen, it takes a bit of practice but when you pull it off the results are good. Now I can point at the moon and not over-expose it, similar to a photo I took a few weeks ago of a Lunar Corona http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=105370

Thanks Roger, actually the moon was only a wanning crescent that night, the clouds appear so bright because of the light pollution coming from Sydney.

The foreground is a 155sec exposure with the background capped at 30sec 'Magic Glove method'.
