Location
This is One Tree Hill at Maleny on the Sunshine Coast, it looks out over the Glasshouse Mountains towards BrisbaneTime
Well for starters next time I will take a jumper, I was freezing. It was taken just before the sun came up, when heading up there I was not expecting the milky way to be directly verticle behind it.Lighting
For once light polution came in handy as the lights from Brisbane helped light up the treeEquipment
On an old trusty silk tripod I used a Canon 6D, Canon 17-40mm f4 lensInspiration
I had not shot this location before, I'm glad I made the trip up the range, especially when I see the milky way directly behind the treeEditing
All my processing starts in Lightroom for basic adjustments then moved to photoshop to finish. Apart from bringing out the milky way a littl more and cropping not much was done to this photoIn my camera bag
Canon 6d, 17-40, 50mm 1.4, filters, remote triggerFeedback
Get out the there, enjoy our beautiful planet, use google earth to help plan your trip for milky way shots, also there are sites to show light polution areas, check sites for shots of the area you are wanting to shoot and last but not least, if near roads then use street view on google maps to find locations
