Been fairly obsessed with trying to photograph the stars the past few years. Living in the centre of a city and not having a car isn't making it easy. Found myself in the middle of nowhere over the weekend during a freezing cold but clear night. It was for a wedding so I only had 5 minutes but I managed to take this. You could just see the milky way with the naked eye.
The photo isn't great but its the best I have managed. My only camera right now is a Fuji X100 which is not great for this sort of thing meaning I couldn't get and of the earth in the shot. Also didn't have a tripod so just put the camera on a fence pointing upwards.
Think it was a 15 second exposure (cant do longer because of the 35mm focal length), ISO 2000ish, f2.0.
Really tempted to get a DSLR with a superwide and make a trip somewhere specially for this sort of thing...
