This was my first time ever trying milky way photography and it was while at SEM 2026 in Poland, mentioned in my previous post. I had been planning to take this photo ever since i knew i was going, checking the view of the sky in these days along with the levels of light pollution which while not that low, were quite low compared to where i live.

I used my trusty EOS 6D with my 28-125mm Canon lens at it’s widest aperture at f3.5. I think exposure time was 13 seconds or so. I took 18 photos with the Magic Lantern intervalometer and stacked the pictures using Sequator. This should drastically improve noise in order to make processing easier. Afterwards, I processed the photos in Darktable to make them look better and really bring out the colors of the milky way.

I really, really hope i get to do this again, being able to see the stars this way is really a beautiful experience, even the stars i could see just with my naked eyes.

First time entering an airport and flying with a plane, very exciting. Now we set up camp in the racing ring and are to sleep soon.

I also took some very nice portraits but I’ll keep those only for my portfolio.

I really like how film generally looks so i tried to make it feel a little like it. Used Darktable for the first time on these and was really happy with the workflow. I also don’t like to over-edit and have as natural looking a result as possible, i think these ones turned out well.

This last one is the whole team
