Bodie and the Milky Way

Here's my second installment on my trip to Bodie.

Jeff Sullivan was leading our workshop. He was a great help to me

since I had never had much success with trying to photograph the

Milky Way. Jeff runs a number of workshops during the year. Check 

out    http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/.

I learned a little about photoshop and post editing trying to bring

these photos to life. I used a 16-22mm lens on a full frame Canon 6D.

This wide angle of a lens leads to a lot of distortion, something that

has kept me in the past from using wide angle lenses.

During post processing I used the warp tool to bring a better prospective 

and modify some of the distortion. I also used a layer mask for color

correction on the area that were 'lightpainted'. I left the 

Milky Way pretty much alone.

Not going to add a lot of comments this time. Bet you weren't expecting that from me.

Go See, Enjoy and Photograph
