My first arched Milky Way | 2013 © Geremetta Moreno | After many hours spent looking at images of milky ways arched, and after much time spent in the middle of the night to observe the sky and try to understand the technique of those images, here is my first result. I made this picture with 18 shots: 9 for the foreground and 9 for the sky. I am still very far from a perfect result, but I want to share in any way the final image. The place I chose for this photograph is a three-hour walk from the car park, and it's almost crazy being up here in the middle of the night. But it is a magical place, away from the lights of the village, a kingdom of wild animals and nature. | Dolomiti, Italy | 9 + 9 exposures Stitched Panorama
