Hey everyone, I can't wait to be able to capture more milkyway images throughout the year now that the core is visible in the Southern Hemisphere again.
here is an image I took about two years ago, and I was never ever happy with how the stars looked, but after giving it a re-edit I am really happy with it.
This shot is taken of the Arch near Port Campbell on the Great Ocean Road in Australia. If you look closely you can see the main viewing platform, however the milky way lines up better from here :)
Looking down at the rocks on the bottom left of the images, there are normally the sounds of penguins that come in for the night.
I hope you enjoy this image and am looking forward to seeing more of my astro images when I capture more this year :)
An amazing picture
Thank you!
