Location
I took this photo in Switzerland on a high plateau near the city St. Gallen (behind the hill in the middle of the image). The cows on the right side always visited me and didn't understand, why I would not pet them as normally during daytime ;-)Time
I took this picture at about 2 o'clock in the morning.Lighting
Have a look a the light pollution... in Switzerland, this is really a problem...Equipment
I used a Nikon D810 with 14-24mm lens on a tripot and a remote control.Inspiration
I love the night sky, the stars and the peace at night. Milkyway over the diary farm of a friend of mine. Hope, one day I will catch a shooting star with the milkyway over the farm :-DEditing
Stitching the pano and Lightroom and a little Photoshop for the milkyway (mostly graduation curves / gaussian smoothing... no layers... I like it simple... well and... fast...).In my camera bag
At the moment daily the D810 and 50mm lens, because of a personal 365d-photo-project.Feedback
Try and error... Dark night, clear sky, head lamp, something against mosquitos, a bottle of water and something to eat ;-) And some patience to try with different camera-settings. And some more patience, because here, there are always airplanes on the wrong places of the sky ;-(
