Location

I took this photograph in Donegal Ireland, I travelled near 4hrs to this Dark Sky Location Malin Beg Silver Strand.

Time

This was taken on the 19th September 2020 around 2145pm

Lighting

I done some star reduction on this image to give the Milkyway a dreamy feel to it.

Equipment

This was shot using the Nikon Z6 with the Nikon Z S 20mm prime lens. A series of images was taken and stacked in Starry Landscape Stacker to reduce noise

Inspiration

I have been a lover of astronomy since I was a kid, with modern camera's, capturing the beauty of the night sky for me is a sense of wonder and beauty

Editing

Yes, everything I shoot is in raw file format. A mixture of Lightroom and Photoshop to postprocess my images

In my camera bag

My Nikon Z6, 24-70mm, 20mm lens, various ND filters, polariser, remote cable.

Feedback

Lots of planning, clear skies, moon free when possible and a dark sky location away from light pollution. Warm clothes and bring someone if possible
