Have you ever attempted to pull the image. I've noticed them practically begging to come out. I'm afraid that if I were capable of such emotion; I might be envious of your potential.
I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my homeland Checua-Cundinamarca, Colombia. Since I was very small I have kept memories of this great land, sunsets, sunrises and starry skies, is my inspiration.

Time

This photo is one of those improbable photos, was supposed to be on a very clear night, with low humidity and very well planned, but although it was a very rainy and cloudy night, at a time close to midnight it was clear for a short time in which I managed to capture the beauty of Milky way.

Lighting

Simply a high ISO and a long exposure to achieve capture as much light from sky.

Equipment

Canon EOS REBEL T3i and a 18-55 Lens. I have no tripod, so I just left the camera on the floor, accommodated between stones making a frame that I liked.

Inspiration

This was my first Milky Way picture. It is not something I have planned, but this love I have to capture the beauty of nature was rewarded with a short opportunity to show my friends and acquaintances an unknown and forgotten night sky with much to reveal because of city lights does not allow us to see.

Editing

Yes, only in Photoshop Camera Raw I fixed the contrast, white balance and shadows to reveal more details of tree that is in the foreground and make more visible the Milky Way.

In my camera bag

I still have no photographic equipment.

Feedback

Be patient with weather, plan well your photos, do not forget the Hyperfocal distance and finally you can always take advantage of the diverse beauty of nature if you know where to look.
