    Default The Rural Milky Way

    I bought a new 6D lately so I thought I would go try out some high ISO stuff. Below are my first couple of attempts at shooting the Milky Way. I'm not necessarily into astrophotography but I do enjoy it as part of a larger scene. Both were shot with a 6d, 17-40 F/4 at 17mm and F/4, SS 30sec, and ISO 6400. Barns were painted with an off camera flash with a full CTO gel, at 1/32 power, fired multiple times (about 3-4x for the first one and 6-8x for the second one).

    Cool, dig it quite a bit. Very well done, and I am sure you like the results of this high ISO thing as well.

    Both are very nice. As I understand it... you moved your flash to point at various parts of the scene during exposure?

    Thanks. Yes, that's correct. During the 30 sec I take the handheld flash and light different parts of the barn. The barn in the second one is fairly big, so it gets quite hard to light it evenly, which is one of the more difficult tasks. The other difficulty is managing light from other sources such as the house that is behind the barn in the second pic and there was light hitting the barn on the far side from a house 200m down the road in the first image.

    Thanks Matt K!

    Very nice Mike. Another vote here for #2, and looks like you got a handle on the new toy already.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    WOW! Love them both. Well done. I would love to try this technique one day. Are you manually popping the flash and different spots of the barn?
