Wisdom of galaxy.

Yes they speak, the woods speak to each other, they are definitely inter linked to each other. Specially when the Sun has set down far behind and the moon trying to impress the nature but fails..!!

What next !!

The stars, those million smiles that appear right above the sky and group up to portray and shower the motherly nature with something mesmerising which our naked eyes can't visualise. Hence framed this breath taking view with my 3rd eye and here by presenting to you all such a galaxy wonder.

Behind The Lens

Location

It was photographed at the southern woods of Central India- Bandipur Tiger Reserve, Karnataka, India.

Time

I am always passionate about spending hours in the woods at late night and photograph the mesmerising scenic beauty our mighty nature could provide us with, which our naked eyes could witness but not frame. This was photographed at 1am midnight in the chilled woods.

Lighting

Lighting always playa a major role in photographing nature using long exposure technique.The lights you see in there is achieved with the pure mechanism of DSLR alone, and with few fill lights adding life to the overall exposure. it was really dark at the moment where i fond it hard to achieve focus, but then focusing it to infinity is the only solution to gain light trails from the distant star and finally achieve the desired galaxy.

Equipment

Canon 7d mii, Canon 10-18mm f4.0/5.6, Tripod, Torch light

Inspiration

As i said earlier i always love exploring the nature, when it comes to landscapes combined with a paradise of galaxy then i wouldn't resist myself from sitting down there between the woods and photographing the mother nature. If my one photograph could reach out a massive public and get hold of their eyes then thats a major success to me, as my techniques would be cherished and followed by later on.

Editing

Yes this is a ultimate panoramic stitch of 6 photographs shot in vertical mode and combined later on to get the ultra scape as I witnessed in the woods. After combining the photographs removing duplicates and filling the content, altering the perspective according to my desire was a major task. But finally managed to pull over this mega scape. Post process plays a major role in astro series because we need to extract every possible light available in the sensor and then manipulate it to balance the overall scene and then compromise with the galaxy alone so that it stands out to attract every viewer.

In my camera bag

Feedback

Patience is the key feature to test your skills and achieve something out of the box. This photograph, it took me 1 hour to sit down in there and compose manually later a 30mins practical work over post processing to get the desired output. Okay with your technicals and at one point of time you get to understand how much deep you can go with your partner in crime being DSLR. Keep a tripod with you always while travelling so that you don't get to miss such a mesmerised opportunity in photographing this scenic beauty. Every picture depicts a story and the story has a lot of hard work behind it, get inspired from works and try not to copy it but learn the technicals and then step out and explore the mechanical world behind your DSLR.
