This image is a composite of two photographs, one for the foreground and one for the sky. I zoomed in on the Milky Way for the last 10 seconds of the exposure to give it the “warp speed” look. Somniloquy is the term that describes the act of talking while asleep. All of the images in our Somniloquy series have to do with exposure blends and creativity: day shots for the foreground and night shots for the sky, processed and blended via Lightroom & Photoshop CC with a dream state in mind.
This image is an 9 shot panorama of the Five Islands, Maine area featuring Mink (smaller, right) and Hen (bigger, left) Islands, the full arc of the Milky Way galaxy and quite a bit of all-night light pollution coming from the local wharf. Nikon D600 & 14-24 @ 14mm f/2.8 – 9 x 30 secs - ISO 4000 06/28/14 – 11:00PM
