Milky Way Gateway by Matt-Payne

This was pretty much just an experiment using a lot of images for the star trails and then blending back in the Milky Way. I'm not crazy about it, but I put too much work into it not to share it somewhere. Hope you 'sort of' like it, like me. The star trail sequence used about 120 photos, layered in photoshop. I used a sequentially decreasing opacity to give the star trails a tapered meteor feel. I then layered back in one of the Milky Way stills. via 500px http://ift.tt/1wo5Myw
