January 2025 - Milky Way and Fire Wagon
About the Image(s)
This was taken in the Palouse region of Eastern Washington. The wagon is actually an old water tank. ISO 1600, 90mm, f8, .6 sec. The lights from a nearby town interfere with the night shot, but I liked the way the wagon lined up with the Milky Way stars. Any thoughts on processing where there is light pollution in astro photography?

To me this is a great shot, with the Milky Way lining up with the top of the old water tank, which is very well exposed to reveal its detail.

Lauren, you have a great eye for something different. Unfortunately the light appears to be coming from two opposite directions but I still like it. The town or the moon could be toned down. The only adjustment I think it really needed was a little more space in front of the wagon. Hope you don't mind but I gave it a try. Well done. Posted: 01/20/2025 19:02:52
