Stargate

in #photography7 years ago

Most people live in the heavily light poluted areas. Some have never seen the Milky Way with their own eyes. Of course, the camera's sensor is patiently collecting the photons for 15-30 seconds, depending on your equipment, so the final images look the way your eye can never see it.
However, it's still quite fascinating to see the Milky Way from a very dark location. For me it's always a trip back to the childhood and summer nights spent on the village at my grandparents place. Sometimes it was so hot that we were sleeping outside and the sky was amazing. There are lyrics from one Croatian band saying 'from all the stars I cannot even see the sky'. It summs it up pretty nicely...

Nikon D750 / ISO 6400 / 15s / f2.8 / Samyang 24mm f1.4

With that in mind, I will now go to my bed and stare at my empty ceiling...

Good night folks,
Nino.

Excellent publication, short and precise. I loved the picture.

Wow, where is this gate? Great picture, deserves a resteem and upvote, hahaha. Great job dude

Thanks :)
This small tunnel is located on the Adriatic coastal road in Croatia. Somewhere close to a small place called Prizna, where you have a ferry to the island Pag.

Hmmm, haven't been there. I took the E65 all the way down to Split when I was in Croatia. Thanks for the infos :)

That's the same road. Either you joined it after this, or you slept through that part :)

Одлична, одлична @nkera, бацићеш ме у трошак за нови објектив :)

Haha, pa toplo preporučam. Ja sam jako zadovoljan. Samo treba bit svjestan da nećete slikat djecu u pokretu sa njime jer je full manual :)

Засад су сви Samyang објективи такви, али ја сам ионако готов да купим изванреду верзију Фуџија, 16мм 1,4 који одговара овом твом у АПСЦ формату и има аутофокус :)

E to će bit odlično... Ova moja bi bila idealna da je još malo širi kut

i have been in pretty dark places (weird wording i know :D)
but i have never seen anything like this ehhhh

There's even worse that this. Here you can actually see distant glow from a town... Now the Milky Way season is about to start and I plan to roam the dark roads on the weekends :)
