"Dakota Territory Milky Way"
The historical Ben Clare United Methodist Church, Valley Springs, South Dakota with May 25th's clear sky at 1:53 am.
I have wanted to do a milky way shot here since last year but by the time I tried it was too late in the summer and the galactic center had already moved too far south to get it in the frame like this. This shot is a single exposure taken with a Canon EOS 6D and Canon EF 16-35 L II Lens at 16mm 15 second f-3.2 10,000iso. Tired of reading comments from ignorant people that think everything is PhotoShop, I decided to record a video with my phone of the camera taking this exact photo. You can see it here on my YouTube - https:--www.youtube.com-watch?v=rz9FKo4kXG8

I love this shot! I found this in a google search long before I ever joined viewbug. I can't believe I found it again.

This is incredible. Thanks for sharing the settings. What is lighting up the top of the church creating the shadows? Just trying to figure out your ambient light as I've been wanting to try a shot like this. :)
