First Milky Way shot of the season

[mountainjunkie]

Also first attempt tracking a Milky Way shot. I set the ISO down to 400 and did 4 minute exposures...think I could have gone a little higher ISO with slightly shorter exposures with better results. Next time.

I had to cancel my trip out west to shoot MW shots but my friend who lives out there is using the MoveShootMove tracker and having great success at ISO 800, 120 sec 1.8@14mm, two shot exposures.

In PS, I found that your sky was a full stop out but when I brought it to a corrected exposure, it made the boat in the foreground too important which would require more masking and desaturation...overall, a good first try.

Very nice shot.
