North Dakota windmill under the Milky Way

Uploaded: July 25, 2017 | Entered: July 25, 2017 17:55:09

Description

One of my favorite close places to shoot, the Sheyenne National Grasslands. Scoped out this windmill during the day for any hazards aka, barbed and electric wires and cattle. Once I arrived at 2 am, determine that one shoot was not enough to capture the milky way and the windmill. This image is 4 vertical images merged together.

Exif: F Number: 2.8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 37/1 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 2500, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 21.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

This is incredible, Roxanne! Beautiful colors! It's such a clear, clean image! Love the purples, pinks, and variety of them. Just wow! Night shots are more work because you have to miss sleep! LOL. I love how all those stars are visible in this image and that one shooting star! #1692239

You guys are very kind. Yes you miss sleep, but standing out there on the prairie is very humbly at how small we really are and so beautiful, it's worth the lack of sleep #11624955
