Night Sky At Manzanita

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.

  2. Very nice!
