      Taken from Woodend Beach on the east coast of New Zealand – only about 20 mins drive from my place meant that a little insomnia got rewarded.

      All shot on a Sony A7iii with a 55mm f/1.8 CZ lens.

      Sky is made up of 9 images tracked on my AM5N mount (yes, overkill, I know) to counter the earth’s rotation and capture different parts of the sky – each shot was 120s long, f/2.8, ISO640

      Took all those pics and stitched them together into a larger mosaic panorama and superimposed that onto the foreground shot of this woodpile with my headlamp in the middle – foreground was taken at 10s, f/2.8, ISO640…Seems to have worked!

      I don’t really post so much but you can follow me on Insta (@EkantV) or FB (/EkantTakePhotos) – happy to answer questions people may have 🙂

      That’s gorgeous! Have you been shooting photos for a long time? I always try to take photos of the stars but they are a lot more underwhelming than this

      Dang, I wish I could see it in that detail with the naked eye. I’ve traveled a lot of places, but still haven’t been anywhere with that kind of view.

      So sad I have never seen the milky way. The one time I would have had a chance while camping, nobody woke me to see it.
