Celestial Pier I

Published:
2.6K Views

Description

Having photographed the milky way over the pier before I had the opportunity to do it again with a different position. I parked my car on the pier and put the brights on then took one photograph w/ the lights on and one with them off to make sure I could balance the light properly with the stars. The mist was the result of the large surf coming in being lit up by the car lights.

Much thanks for the c/c!!

Well, once again this is a rare critique of a photograph that I don't have much to be critical of. The only thing that may have made this better is perhaps a gradient filter placed low around the horizon to stop down the brightness of the terrain just a bit. The real draw here is the absolutely gorgeous shot you've captured of the milky way, and the brightness from the road and structure takes away from it just a tad. I'm really shocked that a 30 second exposure at ISO 1600 didn't make an overly-granulated shot! I must also state that I am extremely jealous that you have a very obvious lack of light pollution in your night sky for this shot. If we could all be so lucky...
