Quote by: Devon+Oxford What camera, exposure time, etc. did you use? Thanks Devon! I used a Pentax K-5 DSLR mounted on a Bogen tripod, with a Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX zoom lens. Exposure was a single shot for 30s at f/4, 10mm focal length, ISO 1600 in DNG RAW format. Image was processed in Adobe Lightroom v4.1, with a final conversion to JPG in Photoshop CS6. I know I have a lot to learn regarding processing, but I was glad to get this far on my first try. Dave - Morrow, AR |

Quote by: Pablo+Rosell Great shot Dave! Hi Pablo - I agree it would be a lot better. I'm just learning this stuff, and this was a way to get my feet wet, so to speak. I am planning to try some more after this holiday week. Been kinda busy since the first of the month. Dave - Morrow, AR |

Nice shot Dave. I was wondering if the milky way was visible to the naked eye where this shot was taken? |

Thanks again, Devon. I appreciate the comments. Quote by: Battmann Nice shot Dave. I was wondering if the milky way was visible to the naked eye where this shot was taken? Yes, it was, but not to the extent that you see in the image. Some of that was brought out by the camera, and a tiny bit by the post-processing. My ranch is just barely in the Bortle Class 3 Zone (blue) in NW Arkansas. See the article I wrote on this topic, How Dark Is It Really? for more information. Dave - Morrow, AR |
