Nice shot! I always love seeing pics of the Milky Way! What camera and settings did you use? Was the milky way tracked? What editor did you use? Is it a composite image? Sorry for all the questions. But I want to find out more about different people's ways of doing it.
Oh, and just a tip, in post-processing, I would make the left portion of the center of the milky way not so bright, it looks a little blown out. It also loses some of its detail. And maybe make it a little less blue.

Letâs have some fun and see a thread of our ONE favorite or best photograph of 2017. I will start.
I had posted this in the Advance & Professional Portrait section, but will re-post here as it is one of my favorites of 2017.
P-38 pilot in the China-Burma-India Theater, WWII. One of the 30+ veterans I have photographed this past year.
Nice shot! How do you view/post in a section like Advance and Professional Portrait? I have not ever seen those kind of sections. Thanks!
Here is my other favorite. I shot this in Nebraska this last summer. Hope you like it!
Here one of my best shots this past year. I followed this guy around for an hour before I could get this shot. Hope you like it!

Eye-catching silhouettes with some humor: where is that poor bird with landing gear down, on final approach, going to end up?
As for feedback, you could trim a little from the sides and bottom, to bring the scene a bit closer and to remove the far-right post and bird that are crowding the edge of the frame. Not much of a change, but perhaps worth trying?
I think it pushed another one off, if I remember right! Thanks for the critique! I will definitely try that!
Hey Everyone!
I shot this here in Pensacola Florida. I used my Nikon D3300 with a Tamron 16-300mm lens.
Critiques and comments welcome!
Amazing shot. It would have been ten times better with the milky way behind the rocks, or with star trails. Great Job!
I have had that same problem. It shows up most when I used small apertures from F/10-F/40. Don't blow an air duster directly into the camera body because it can put harmful chemicals on the image sensor. I would advice us use the visibledust 8mm sensor brush. Go to the camera menu and select "lock image sensor for cleaning". Get out the brush and air duster. Spray the brush bristles with the air duster for a few seconds to charge the brush. Then put the brush in the camera and wipe gently on sensor. Spray again the electrically charge it again and repeat. You can use a flashlight to see if you got it all. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions!
Hey Everyone!
I shot this at a beach here in Pensacola a few weeks ago.
I used my Nikon D3300 with a Tamron 16-300mm lens at 16mm. Shutter speed: 1/4000, Aperture: F/8, ISO: 200
Please comment and critique this photo! I am just getting started with photography and would like any tips I can get.
Thanks!
