Milky Way by the Sea

The Milky Way along the coast is particularly attactive setting, but can be difficult because most of the cities are near the coast. The Milky Way may lose some of it's color at you'd find in the higher altitudes of the mountains and the dryness of the desert, but it hard to beat the foreground.

Fall Milky Way from Twin Bush.

As the Milky Way set earlier and earlier in the night, I headed out to the coast to get some final shots. This is from Twin Bush where I've shot many times before. This time I shot 3 series of shots: one of the ocean, and two of the Milky Way. The pics of the Milky way were 41 8 second shots at ISO 1600 and then stacked and combined. I shot multple shots of the forgroud with different lighting angles and combined those as well.
