photos-worth:Island of Heaven, by voidshatterSky: 64 frames of continuous shots aligned and stacked by PixInsight;Buildings: 64 frames of continuous shots stacked by Photoshop;Reflections: single frame with noise reduction by Noiseware.Four conditions are necessary for a shot of the Milky Way around St Michael’s Mount:a) It has to be May, June or July of each year;b) It has to be a cloudless night;c) There must be no moon above the horizon;d) When the Milky Way is up in position, low tide is required to access the location.I was lucky to encounter a night with all four conditions met, however my planned foreground - the causeway of granite setts - did not look good due to the very low tide, ruining my “Path to Heaven” in mind. It was no fun standing in the sea for three hours struggling to find an alternative composition, especially when crabs move around my tripod with the sound of water clashes. Finally I realised that if I stand still in the sea, the water becomes very still thanks to the low tide, and I could capture the reflection of the Milky Way without using Photoshop - an unexpected reward! -- source link
