Canon 5D MkII, Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 II DG HSM
@ 18mm
First image @ ISO3200, F5.6, 30″ Exposure
Second image @ ISO3200, F5.6, 121″ Exposure
I took this image in the early hours of Wednesday morning (03:52am) and the moon was at Waning crescent 17% illuminated. It is a composite of two images taken a few minutes apart. The first image was taken to expose for the Milkyway and the second one to expose for the foreground.
I was at the beach a little after midnight and I set myself up on a bolder to do a time-lapse of the Milkyway rising and I was hoping to also capture the sunrise as well. But soon after the moon showed itself I was running into trouble because the tide was rising really fast and I had to abort mission. I will definitely try this again some other time from a safer spot.
