The heavens above [View all]

Found this old church last night when i went about 90 minutes west of Austin to shoot the milky way

the horizon glow is from the town about 15 miles away





tried a little light painting on the church



This was my original goal,shooting just the milky way from Enchanted Rock State Park.
This is a 30 second exposure at f2.8,ISO 16000 ! using an 11-20mm lens on a nikon d500
