Starlit Church Ope Cove

Description

For my first ‘Stargazing’ image of 2015, I headed out to Church Ope Cove on Portland. The Milky Way rises just above the beach here during May, and its sheltered location and good lookout made it a perfect place to shoot. Slightly hampered by fast-moving clouds on a keen breeze, the Milky Way is very clear for a good portion of the image. Foreground was a 15 minute exposure, and the sky was a series of 30x 30s exposures, stacked together.

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.
