This is a photo that i took last year on my trip to Greece. We were in the wild so to say, the nearest city is the one you can see far back in the background. This and the fact that it was a new moon(almost no moon in the sky) makes the perfect opportunity for a milky way shot, due to low light pollution. So this is one of my tries to capture it. I'm pretty happy with the amount of detail i could capture. It was pretty amazing just to lie on the beach and look at the sky. After a while your eyes adapt to the low light and you can see so many stars and even the milky way itself. This is one of the reasons why i love traveling to wild places like that one.
Lens: Samyang 12mm f2

Awesome photo!
Can you tell me shutter speed and ISO what you used?
Thank you ! Here is a tip from me. Never go more then 30sec shutter speed or you will have star trails and the stars will get blurry and never get over 6400 ISO or the picture will be bad quality. For this picture the settings were: f2, ISO 2000 , 25sec. And the picture was edited in lightroom.
Thank you for tip.
I'm always using rule 500 when i'm doing milky way photography. Problems that i'm having is my Canon 600d, i need to bump up my ISO to 3200 with f2.8 and i get a lot of noise, and than i have to do photo stacking that helps me reducing noise but i need a lot of time to do this.
I wanna upgrade my 600d to sony a6000 or a6300, it got better high ISO performance and less noise.
Ya I'm pretty curious how they managed to capture the milky way and the city lights without overexposing the lights. Also there is an amazingly low amount of noise in this photo. Maybe a composite. Pretty amazing though
I know that a lot of people using ETTR for this kind of scenery when they are close to cities with a lot of light pollution.
Its also a lot in post processing of the photo in lightroom and being able to do it well. I always try to expose somehow in the middle so nothing is with too much light or its too dark, so after that in lightroom i make it how i want.
That’s awesome!
Dass es noch Gegenden gibt in denen der Sternen Himmel so klar ist. Gut dass dass du das Foto gemacht hast. Irgendwann kann man sternenklare Nächte nr noch auf Fotos anschauen.
MAGNIFICENT! :O the beauty of the infinity. Keep up :) You definitely deserve an upvote from me, mate.
