Milky Way Arch over Pouakai Tarns
Milky Way Arch over Pouakai Tarns
Taken: 9th July 2024 at 9pm approx
Story: I'd been planning to get a full arch pano from this location for over a year and finally had the right weather conditions (clear skies with no wind) at the right time of the year to get this alignment. My plans were almost ruined by cloud and fog that kept coming and going and also the temperature was around Zero degrees C (32F) and my lens fogged / iced up a bit after the battery for my lens warmer ran out of power. It's a long hike up to this location with all of my photography gear (around 23kg), and previous trips to this spot have ended up being too cloudy to get the shots I wanted, so I'm really glad that this time it all worked out.
Notable features: The Magellanic Cloud galaxies (reflected in the water), and various red nebulae pepper the Milky Way, including the gum nebula on the right.
EXIF: Sky: 70 shot pano at 13 sec, ISO6400, f1.4, 28mm.
Foreground: 11 shots at 13 sec, ISO6400, f1.4, 28mm.
Camera: Canon R (Astro modified)
Lens: Sigma Art 28mm f1.4
Printed on high quality premium photographic paper, canvas (ready to hang),
or metal (aluminium Chromaluxe, ready to hang). Framed prints include a mat border.
