Milky Way

Hi All,
I have followed Canon Rumors for ~6yrs now, but never really posted any pictures officially in the forum. The pictures posted here are really amazing and I always felt my were no where close to the caliber. Anyways, here is officially my first one...I welcome any critiques. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for the kind words. It was shot in Joshua Tree National Park near the Yucca Valley (North West) park entrance.

Cyclops Skull Arch at Alabama Hills, California
5D Mark IV, Sigma 14mm f1.8 Art 13 sec., f1.8, ISO 4000
This was the most challenging subject I have light painted so far.
One light inside the "skull", one to the left of frame, and one at the cameras position.

Hi Kieth.
Very nicely done, nice balance of the light.
When you say light painting, I'm guessing from the description of one inside the skull etc you are doing it with flashes and not a flashlight shone here and there during the exposure?

Cheers, Graham.

Hi Tony.
Very cool shot, nicely done. Please tell me you planned and tested and revised the plan to get this shot of the Milky Way pouring out of the Glass House Mountains?

Cheers, Graham.

haha Graham if i am being honest we only started looking at google map trying to locate a decent vantage point on the actual day and ended up looking for a different spot on the night in the dark...it just ended up working out that way lol

at one stage we almost thought we weren't going to get anything coz unexpected clouds came rolling in (said clouds ruined our shot of the ISS passing through the moon as well :( )
