Milky Way, a pole light and an old shed

#1

Post by jrkirkham »


I took this nightscape a few weeks ago and forgot to post it. I was visiting my son in Michigan. I took cover in the shade behind a shed to keep my lens out of the light. The barnyard light created an unusual colorful look:

Here are the stats:
Camera: Canon 6D / Tripod: Manfrotto / Lens: Tamron 28-75 @ 50mm / Aperture f/2.5 / ISO: 3200 / Exposure: 15 sec.
