Milky way pano South Dakota Bad lands

[kalgra]

Here is another shot I got last July in the bad lands. I thought it was amazing how the very harsh desert land could suddenly open up to these lush fields of yellow flowers.

This is the first pano of the milky way I have been able to get that displays the whole arch. The stitching kind of messed up in the upper middle portions of the milk way. Im not really sure why. Perhaps I should try something other than LR/PS? Anyway I was pretty happy with it over all.

Spectacular!!!! Why is it that no one ever photographs in the Goodlands?

Because the bad boys hang out in the Badlands and the girls always go for the bad boys, leaving the Goodland's baron.

It's an awesome picture, stop beating yourself up! Most people are amateurs on here anyway and they aren't real picky.

That's excellent. What was the exposure? I really like your peacock pic as well.

One of the best Milky Way compositions I’ve seen, amazing work!

That's excellent. What was the exposure? I really like your peacock pic as well.

This was an exposure blend of the foreground and Milky Way about 3-4 hours apart I think.

If I remember correctly the foreground was shot at 10 seconds f/11 iso 100 and the Milky Way was shot at 15 seconds f/2 iso 3200.

This was not a stack? It came out great!

No, stacking but it is a pano if that’s what you mean 6 or 7 vertices frames (I don’t recall the exact number) For the foreground and the same for the Milky Way.
