Road among trees ... - a photo on Flickriver

Road among trees ...

            Dąbrówka - Milky Way
Light pollution class Bortle 4.

I decided to face the extremely difficult task of capturing the Milky Way with the illuminated foreground in one exposure. Unfortunately, this place is quite heavily polluted with light from the south and southwest, but what the heck, you have to fight and not give up.

With an astrotracker (and ISO 200 and an exposure time of 240 s or more, even up to 480 s) I would definitely get excellent quality, but it was supposed to be a short test trip - to check if such an approach makes any sense - to avoid assembling several planes (exposures) into a mosaic.

Earlier, from the balcony at home, I checked that the weather was good, so I quickly convinced my wife to go - we don't have far, about 1.5 km in a straight line.

Yesterday evening in less than 20 minutes I took about 20 photos, and this is the first of them.

Self-timer 5s, CWB 2900 K.
Laowa 17mm f/1.8 (35mm FF) manual lens, manual focus, 14x magnification and focus on the smallest distinct circle of bright stars, without blurring them - then the focus is perfectly set on point.

Benro Mach3 TMA 47AXL tripod + Manfrotto MHXPRO-3W head. To illuminate the trees I used a single short flash (about 2 seconds) from the Ledlenser P7 flashlight with a CTO filter (3000 K).
