Centre of the Galaxy

Description

The globe underneath Durlston Castle had been on my to-do list for a long time, and I even hosted a small photography workshop here earlier in the year. Towards the end of summer, the Milky Way lines up above the globe in the south west, which presents the ideal opportunity for shooting the globe, and its surroundings, in their entirety, while still avoiding the majority of the light pollution from nearby Swanage. The sky was compiled of 10x30s exposures, at 14mm, f/4 and ISO 6,400. The foreground was a 10 minute exposure at ISO 800.

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.
