Joshua Tree Full Milky Way

[JimFox]

Last Monday I stopped overnight at Joshua Tree National Park as I was beginning my drive from California to Colorado.

I had the Nikon D850 and Z8 shooting timelapses, and then the Nikon Z6II with the Samyang 14mm f2.8 MkII I used to run around with and shoot individual images and some pano's like this one.

This is a 7 shot vertical pano. Stitched and processed in Photoshop.

ISO 4000
f2.8
25 secs

All comments are welcome,

Nice to get the full arc of the MW over the park.

 

[Kyle Jones]

Nice job not just with the full arch, but including it in a composition that holds together. That's tough with this much field of view.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Very nice, nicely composed.

Thanks Alan!

Thanks Kyle. I looked for some Joshua Trees to anchor it, and I thought the hill kind of filled the middle.

That is beautiful Jim!

Wonderfull panorama with a beautiful sky, Jim. I would like to see this in real size!

One of the best galaxy images I have seen, Jim.

Lovely, would love to do something like this. I am sure it is even more special with it being such a large MP pano. Great work on this, as always.

Thanks Mike,

I usually forget to take pano's but this year for some reason they are on my mind more so I am focusing on capturing it when I am out.
