Description
If anyone notices a large portion of text missing here, it's because as I grow and learn, narrative changes, and some things that do not apply the same anymore are "decomposed" (I like my biological metaphors.) Usually I come back and re-narrate based on current perspective. This photo was inspired by a few years of studying "laymens" physics and philosophy and certain ideas that emerged around that time.
Workflow:
Shot on a Canon 5D Mark II and a 24-105 f/4L. Tripod is a Gitzo carbon fiber, with a Gitzo off-center ballhead. f/4 is a BIT dark for this sort of work, but it managed. Ended up with a bit of bad color noise and some banding in the corners of the .raw files, but what can you do.
This is 11 vertical images stitched together in Photoshop. They're overlapped by as much as 50%, because I wanted as much image data as possible for the final result. I was happy with my first attempt to stitch it, though I may try again in the future. Each image was shot at 25 sec. f/4 ISO 6400.
Did some small local contrast adjustments for the milky way, and a simple curve for overall contrast. Downsized and sharpened for web. The purple "lines" above the trees aren't banding, just "spires" of faint aurora.

Fantastic composition on this piece- you've captured the curve of the sky against the curve of the hill, with the clouds vanishing into the distance over the clearing above the water. Very effective. Can I ask what focal length you were using? And did you have trouble stitching the images due to the movement of the stars, or was the position shift small enough to be negligible?
