Warm temps, a clear sky, a rare thing at the beach so, off we went to photograph the night sky from the beach with a bonfire in the distance…

Nikon D4, AF-S 14-24mm 2.8
Turning 160 degrees to the southwest I photographed the Milky Way…

And then I turned the camera off and simply enjoyed the beautiful evening for a few minutes with my honey!






For the picture of the Milky Way what ISO and exposure time did you use?
Hi Paul,
I set my ISO to 2200, my aperture was 2.8 and my shutter speed was 10 seconds. Manual exposure, manual focus set to infinity and come out shooting.
You may have to vary it slightly depending on light pollution, etc.
Very nice!
Thanks
