A vertical panorama of the Milky Way taken July 26th with my 50mm f/1.8. It's a ten-image composite with each being a 15 second exposure at ISO-4000 at f/1.8. Edited in Adobe Lightroom and composed in Microsoft Image Composite Editor. Uncompressed, this image equates to around 190 megapixels, and is 300MB in size.

This one here is my first attempt, whilst the latter was my second. Decided to take another as in this one, the Milky Way is on an angle. ISO-4000, 15 second exposure at f/1.8 with these photographs too. Total of 13 images edited in Adobe Lightroom and composed with Microsoft Image Composite Editor.
A quotation by the late Ansel Adams seemed fitting here.
"The only things in my life that compatibly exist with this grand universe are the creative works of the human spirit."
