Apukuna, Uño & Mayu
The scene was great during the day but I really wanted to capture it at night to capture the galactic core which i dont get see in norway and was lucky enough to get clear skies as well as mars and another star making a strong glow behind a small cloud by the horizon. Looking up at the stars further south is really something else.
This is a combination of 4 panoramas to make it work and the photos of the night were taken from the exact same place but a few hours later when the milky way was in place but the landscape was taken just after the sun set for the day in order to get the nice soft tones and smooth light to combine it with the nightscape. I made it dark and tried to make the two different times blend well together.
