The Milky Way - a photo on Flickriver

The Milky Way

            My first attempt at astrophotography.  I lost the wireless remote to my camera so I wasn't able to do even longer exposures, but I managed to do this one at ISO 2000 at 30 seconds.  Now I took this with the 12-24 f/4..but I really wanted to wide angle and my 17-55 2.8 just isn't wide enough in my opinion.   

But yeah..my first try!  I think it came out way and if you look at the photo while standing or sitting further back you can clearly see the the Milky Way..our home.
