Nolan River and Milky Way Nightscape
Nightscape on the Nolan River

The Milky Way hangs over the Nolan River in north Texas. Taken on a Canon 5D Mark II with Bower 14mm lens @ f/2.8 and ISO 6400 for 30 seconds. Light painting by flashlight with an orange gel.

See more about photographing the Nolan River at night on my blog:

Nice Milky Way shot, Darren.

Really like the capture of the Milky Way and the comp used to showcase it. Sort of wishing the light painting had been more conservatively applied, though.

I like the rock wall, could be a bit darker though. Nice job on positioning the Milky Way.
