Very nice image. Did you take this one in portrait mode as well? I ask because a portrait mode shot could have shown more of the Milky Way and its reflection in the water.

So to get that sunset effect are you shooting with a full or partial moon but waiting for it to just go down below the horizon line?
Thanks for letting us know the techie stuff on how this was shot. I always appreciate knowing that sort of thing. That it was an 8 shot portrait mode pano makes me appreciate it even more - well done!Very nice image. Did you take this one in portrait mode as well?

Thank you! Yes, this an 8 shot VERTICAL panorama using a 20mm f/1.8G lens, which is pretty wide. Of course I would have loved to get more of the milky way, next time i'll try a multi row pano.

You and I are kindred souls.and once I get a star tracker, it's all over. And maybe a D810 down the road... lol
nice scene, to be honest I'm not a fan of the processing though. Having your foreground be as bright or brighter than the night sky doesn't make visual sense. Bringing the exposure down on the foreground by a stop or two would make more sense, look more natural, and be a great image. I'll usually run my astro foregrounds for 5-10 minutes at a lower ISO (obviously less noise), but SOOC those longer exposures are way too bright. Better to ETTR with those exposures and bring the brightness down to look more natural and have a much cleaner final image.

But yes, this is a great shot and I love the way you are using the light pollution to add an extra layer effect. I followed you on 500px and look forward to seeing more.
Wonderful! I was at Meadow Lake 1 summer just over Ca line from Reno. Were you anywhere near that or Donner Pass?
Superb shot!
I don't try to compete there, but sometimes I do have my images reach (what I think) is a lot of eyes. Mostly I do it because to me it's more attractive a set up than Flickr is and it works nicely on my phone to show people images on the go.I love 500 px, it's just very competitive.
