Description
To purchase this image as an exclusive limited edition print please visit my website @ WWW.NATEZEMAN.COMThe Milky Way rises from behind a large sea stack on the Olympic Peninsula.
I usually don't do a lot of night photography, but this was the scene just a few feet from our campsite so I really couldn't pass it up. This is probably the most visible I've seen the milky way to my naked eye.
Second Beach - Olympic National Park - La Push, Washington

I cant seem to do night shots at all. Plus my 450d has way more noise than that 5d

Wow, it's breathtaking. I haven't been able to see a sky like that in ages. It makes you feel a little dwarfed, doesn't it?

I always wonder how you take a picture in the dark.

That is so completely beautiful. The vast scale of scars you captured is incredible. The clarity of the sky and just the atmosphere presented... wonderful. You really pushed the scope of how it feels to stand under the wide, open sky into the piece.

Amazing clarity for such a short exposure time.

you just have to love the High ISO sensitivity of the 5d2..im imagining this is iso 6400 30 seconds wide open on your prime wide angle lens eh?
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah this was shot at 6400/30 seconds but i kinda blew it. i was using my wide angle at f4 and then changed to my 15mm fisheye. I somehow forgot that my fisheye was a 2.8 and kept on shooting at f4. so really im sure i could have got this same shot at 2.8 and 3200 iso. rookie move for sure

He's been gushing about the ISO of his 5d2 nonstop. My little Rebel XTi has been crying in the corner for a week now.

its got good iso performance for sure but its still a super noisy image
π: 0 β©: 1
My Rebel just sniffled and went, "R-really?"
Aww, come here little Rebel... It's okay...
π: 0 β©: 1
haha this is probably the first time ever that ive even used a high iso on a camera so its not an incredibley useful feature to me
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay now the Rebel is happy, even though you're full of crap.

how am i full of crap

Plus I'm just being annoying, but that goes without saying.

Because the shot is great, the noise is negligible, and you tried to soothe my poor camera's shattered ego. 
π: 0 β©: 1
the noise is much more noticeable at full resolution trust me.
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't doubt it's noisy, it's more noticeable esp towards the bottom of the frame, but really, it's minor.
π: 0 β©: 1
its really my first attempt at a star shot so im happy with it
π: 0 β©: 1
you should be happy. I shoot night shots with an XTi too and the only way I can get a shot w/o a bunch of noise is ISO 200. I mean, it still is noisy, but it doesn't kill the image. The only issue is that I can never take just a still shot of the stars, it is always a time laps shot of 30 min or longer. This shot is absolutely terrific. I have just hit the tip of the iceberg on some of your pictures and am excited to look through your gallery.

wow, may i ask is it 10mm fishey (rectangle frame) or circular with PC correction afterwords ? Any time record for exposure and iso ?
π: 0 β©: 1
this was shot with a 15mm fisheye at iso 6400 for 30 seconds
π: 0 β©: 0
This is stunning! Would you consider offering it as a print?

Wow, I never knew you could capture the stars in such splendid detail. Awesome work.

So beautiful. That makes me want to drive out to the Peninsula right now.

very nice shot nate. i have some star pics from y-stone but i don't have a good noise reducing program.
π: 0 β©: 1
this one is fairly noisy but it looks good small

great shot, I just wish you would have posted the EXIF data so I can know how you did this shot, or is this shot a secret???????
