Summer Milky Way at Nambling Lakes - Dowerin, Western Australia

            Nikon d5500
50mm
ISO 5000
f/2.2
Foreground: 9 x 15 seconds
Sky: 22 x 20 seconds

This is a 31 shot panorama of the Carina/Crux region of the Milky Way as it aligns perpendicular to the horizon at Nambling Lakes near Dowerin, about 2.5 hours north east of Perth in Western Australia.

The wind was really strong this night, very much borderline 'pack it up and go home' strength. To reduce the impact of the wind I decided to drop the exposure from my usual 30 seconds to 20 seconds. To compensate for the reduced light I bumped up the ISO and opened the aperture about half a stop.
