Milky Way - Lake Tekapo - NZ

[AlanKirwan]

Took this photo at lake Tekapo NZ. 20 images stacked - Sony GM 14mm F1.8, ISO 6400, 5 seconds. A car arriving at car park provided some nice lighting on the church facade and cross. Post processing for highlights and white balance. Used PhotoPills to predict Milky Way position relative to church.

Very nice shot. It's great when you get extra lighting that helps your shot, unfortunately most times the cars/people with torches etc, seem to ruin shots for me.
