Cornwall Milkway

[Rustang]

These are the last of the Milkway photos I managed to grab while on Holiday in Cornwall. Two are different view points from Kenidjack Cliff Castle looking South towards Cape Cornwall. The other image is facing South from Pordenack Point.

Beautiful images of a lovely part of the world!

We’re off there ourselves in August - can’t wait. So many compositions I have in mind around that whole West Penwith area. Unfortunately our April trip was cloudy throughout.

Lovely images and compositions.  The foreground quality looks great, were these with the 6D?  What settings did you use and how dark was it, asking for a friend...  ?

Foreground images for the Cape Cornwall two were captured around 10:20pm so a little left over sun light was enough light for a 5 second exposure at iso 800 from memory.  The moon was still out to the Southwest/West so also adding light again.

Pordenack Point was an hour or so before sun rise in the lighter blue hour so again enough light for a 5 second exposure. These were with my Fuji XT-2 as I have no decent lens for the 6D.

Beautiful compositions there,  I like the selfie shot, nice to see one without a headtorch being pointed at the sky!
