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.
With lightpollution from the mainland in the background and the Milky Way towering above, the old dead tree comes into focus once again. An exposure for the sky and eight exposures where different parts of the foreground were illuminated with a flashlight were combined in PS to create the final image.
