Midnight Milky Way

[nerwin]

I've been struggling with my photography lately, like not being inspired to shoot and last night when I was looking at the sky before I go to bed, I noticed how super clear it was and decided to stay up a little longer to capture this.

I know it isn't perfect, but each time I do it, the better shots I am getting. There is no stacking in this image, its one single raw file processed in Lightroom.

Nikon D610 + 50 1.8G

15.0 Sec Exposure at f/1.8 and ISO 1250

Notice the two streaks? I'm not a 100 percent sure what they are from, but I think its either two planes flying in formation or getting refueled.
