The stone cross at the ruins of St. John's Chapel near the southern cape of Öland is a grateful motif for night scenery. Here, both the light from the Långe Jan lighthouse and the light painting with a flashlight give the foreground character. The red color of the nebula in the Milky Way is clearly visible since the camera is astromodified. Nine exposures of the starry sky and eight for the ground were combined to create the final image.
Darkness descends over Kalmar straits and the stars begins to emerge. It is still a few hours before the Milky Way can be photographed. This image is composed of six exposures, where different parts of the foreground were illuminated by a flashlight in five of them and a base exposure of me with the lamp in the final exposure. The merging of the various images has been done in PS.
The Milky Way slowly descends into Kalmarsund with the cliffs at Orminge rör, Ottenby, in the foreground. Eight exposures for the sky were stacked to reduce the noise and then combined with a long exposure of the foreground and 14 exposures where different parts were illuminated with a flashlight.
