AstroLandscapes #21 - Milky Way selfie

[FenlandPaul]

I had a bit of fun at the old wind pump on Wicken Fen on Wednesday evening.  It turns out that standing dead still for 20 seconds whilst being divebombed by a squadron of mosquitoes is quite challenging, but I quite like the result nonetheless!  Enjoy.

I've never managed to stay standing still that long  Which is why my astro selfies are invariably me sitting down (usually with a pot noodle off to one side  )

So 20 seconds is an achievement!!

Excellent image. I never thought of being in the image myself. Might have to try that.

That's a stunning image Paul!  I think, composition wise, I would prefer it either without you or without the windmill!

The windmill is definitely more aesthetically pleasing than me, so here it is without my mug in the way!!
