Mist on the Teign - Milky Way from Scorhill, Stone Circle, Darmoor

[John Baker]

Decided to take a walk out to the ancient stone circle at Scorhill on the edge of Dartmoor to get a couple of shots of the milky way over the more.

A pair of shots taken on my 1Dx with my 8-15mm fisheye, EXIF for both 14mm, 30" seconds at f4 ISO at 25,600 as it was rather dark.

Those are spectacularly good images. I think the leftmost one in your first post is my favourite. They are competition-worthy!

Those are lovely. You managed to get a very good balance with the foreground.
