Alabama Hills Milky Way

[JimFox]

I captured this on Monday night in the Alabama Hills in the Eastern Sierra by Lone Pine, California.

While I had 3 cameras set up for the timelapses of the night, I kept one camera free that I could run around to various compositions and to do some pano's.

Nikon Z6II
Viltrox 16mm f1.8 (best Milky Way lens for it's price)

ISO 3200
20 secs
f1.8

5 images stitched in Photoshop.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

Another good from that locale - just enough light under the arches but not too much.

Thanks Alan, I am really happy with this one. I can't wait to start processing some timelapses.

That's called Low Level Lighting or LLL. It's a far cry from the guys shining flashlights and blinding the image.
