Beach and Milky Way

[PropilotBW]

I've never tried long night exposures with the micro four thirds format.
This was the first attempt...and a real learning curve!
I really needed a cable shutter release since the camera would only expose for 60 seconds. This shot was 25 seconds at ISO200, and I still had to crank up the exposure 2.5 stops in Lightroom.

I also tried out live composite mode, but didn't really have enough time to mess around with it. I'll have to try again another time.

Anyways, it's nothing worth anything, but here's the attempt.

Might need to up the ISO

Thanks for the link. I have read that page before as well and I don't know why I didn't try a higher ISO. Those images are at 1600. I was worried about too much noise.
