Together with my friends, we sometimes drive to a place with little light pollution, where it is very dark and you can see an incredible number of stars. The Milky Way can even be seen with the naked eye.
The special thing about taking a photograph of the Milky Way is that the camera can see much more than with the naked eye.
In the foreground you can see part of the Rur Lake.
After a lot of planning, a long drive, taking pictures all night and then sitting at the computer for hours, you are finally rewarded with this great picture.
This picture of the Milky Way has an exposure time of no less than 200 seconds, so a lot of detail is visible.
There are 20 pictures of 10 seconds of the Milky Way and a foreground picture. These 21 pictures are superimposed to make this amazing Milky Way picture.
This picture was taken in the Eifel region in Germany.
