Milky Way above Osmington Mills Waterfall

Description

Having first visited this location late last year, I had worked out that I needed to photograph the Milky Way here in the Spring, when the core of the Milky Way rises in the south east. Despite strong light pollution from Weymouth and Portland to the right, the skies here are still suitably dark to capture detail in the Milky Way. Sky was a composite of 10x stacked 30s exposures at ISO 6,400, f/4, 14mm, on a Vixen Polarie sky tracker. Foreground was a single 8-minute exposure at ISO 400.

A4 and limited edition mounted prints are printed on high quality Fuji glossy photo paper. Larger prints are available, printed on durable, scratch-proof and weather-proof vinyl, mounted on a 3mm thick aluminium composite board, creating a light, strong and unfussy product.
