Cemetery Under the Core - a photo on Flickriver

Cemetery Under the Core

            It’s been nearly impossible to find any details online about this cemetery near Pejar, New South Wales, Australia. The only information that I turned up suggests that the oldest headstone there is dated 1875 and the church that shares the same piece of land was built by locals in 1903. If you’ve followed me for even a short time, you’ll know how I love to pass on information about what I’m photographing, but this time around we’ll all have to settle for those two tidbits.

However old it is, the cemetery sure hasn’t been around as long as the Milky Way, seen here stretching up from the horizon to overshadow the countryside. The stars & planets, comets & asteroids, nebulae & dust clouds that make up our home galaxy are at their densest concentration in what is known as the galactic core, seen near the centre of this shot.

Halfway down and about one quarter in from the left of the shot is the brilliant white light reflecting from the planet Jupiter. Another planet, Saturn, had not long risen when I took this shot. You can see it a little above the bloom of white light coming from behind the distant hills. 

This image is a single-frame photo that I shot with a Canon EOS 6D camera, a Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 lens @ f/2.4x, using an exposure time of 13 seconds @ ISO 6400.
