"Fields of Green and Stars"
Taken near Dumbleyung, Western Australia - this image reveals the spectacular milkyway galaxy shining brightly from the dark skies of this region. Here, I took the opportunity to wade my way through green wheat fields to try and capture the stars over fields of green. I like how the "arcs" (really distortions) of the galactic plain and the edge of the fields are almost mirrored...pure luck rather than any planning on my part.
This is a mosaic of 15 shots taken through my Samyang 14mm f/2.8 prime lens using a standard Canon EOS6D DSLR. All shots were at ISO3200 for 30sec each. I took 5 shots of the foreground with me using a handheld flash to provide some lighting of the fields, and then the rest on a tracking mount for the sky / galaxy. Stitching of the shots was done using PTGui Pro, and processed in Adobe Photoshop.
