Description

Another, this time vertically stacked 7-shot panorama, of our very own milky way as seen by the sensor of the Canon 6D through the glass of the Samyang 24mm f1.4 captured at f2, ISO 2000 and 22 seconds. As usual, I then teased out every last bit of starlight in post process in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom​ while trying not to completely blow out the city glow and keeping artifacts to a personally acceptable level. It's fun to do this sort of stuff even though in reality the Milky Way​ doesn't look anything like this... Of course, at this aperture and while focusing on the stars, it is impossible to maintain sharp focus in the foreground without either masking from a second image or focus stacking but both techniques require too much manual photoshop work and I didn't feel like doing that so - the blurry foreground stays in this capture. Maybe I should not be drinking Sleeping Giant Brewing Co.​ when posting to FB as I am disclosing all the secrets. Did I mention PhotoPills?
Oh yeah, and this was taken last week at Silver Harbour and we are looking at Mary Island and Thunder Bay, Ontario​
