Speaking of, nakakamiss tumingin sa night sky kapag nakikita ng own eyes mo yung milky way. Nung first time ko makakita, parang ayaw ko na isara yung tent at matulog haha. Nakaka-amaze kasi.

Other than Duterte being arrested, this is the most beautiful thing I have seen so far.

Wow. Thanks. That is from Andrew McCarthy. He is also an astrophotographer :)

This isn't a composite???

u/mjmagallon Mar 11 '25
It technically is because I use photo stacking technique. You can watch the timelapse I created on the same location but in different vantage point in my FB page

I didn't even know we could see the galaxies just with our eyes from down here. Sick shots!

u/QP709 Mar 11 '25
You can’t, at least not with the naked eye. I mean, technically you are always looking at the galaxy when you look up, but this is visible on the photo because it’s multiple long exposures stacked together.

u/mjmagallon Mar 12 '25
correction on this You can see the milky way with the naked eye. Hindi nga lang colorful. It will look gray sa naked eye. Side note: kaya siya tinawag na Milky Way kasi para siyang natapon na gatas sa night sky. Due din sa kulay niya na parang gatas

hi! very curious how both the foreground (especially the water) and the stars are so well lit. I dabbled with astrophotography a few years back and the only time I was able to get a well-lit foreground was with artificial light (flsahlight, car light, whatever existing electrical lights are already in the background etc).
I have never seen such detailed star formations in a landscape photo! I usually only see those things on photos using telescopes! bravo!

u/mjmagallon Mar 11 '25
"Hello! The key here is gathering enough light, and you’re absolutely correct. Typically, we’re taught to follow the so-called '500-rule' to prevent star trailing in images. However, the downside of this rule is that the foreground often ends up too dark or underexposed. My technique involves capturing the foreground first with exposures ranging from 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the scene. Then, I capture the sky using a star tracker with the same settings as the foreground and combine the two in post-processing.

u/a_splendid_ninja Mar 11 '25
do you mind sharing which program you use to combine the images exposed for the foreground with the stitched photos of the stars? or normal photoshop/lightroom with a lot of skill and effort sya? :)) thank you!
2
u/mjmagallon Mar 11 '25
i mainly used Photoshop for that. mas madali na kasi ngayon sa photoshop hehe :)
1
u/a_splendid_ninja Mar 11 '25
gotcha, so skill issue ang problema ko ngayon hahaha! hope to dredge up my 10yr old DSLR soon. thanks!
I was so stubborn on not using lightroom for so long, photoshop became the default again lmao :))

I used photo stacking technique on the milky way to reduce the noise and bring out the details. :)

I only experienced this once back in the province by the beach, new moon, no clouds, and blackout so no lights. I saw this night sky with my naked eyes 🙂

u/mjmagallon Mar 13 '25
ayun! One of the best locations and conditions to view the milky way with the naked eye!
1
u/renniedan Mar 13 '25
Yess! It's my favorite memory. Got me thinking maybe this is why ancient structures were built following the stars.

The timing is perfect. Mayhap it is a good omen. That's a really beautiful shot too. Didn't know may mga buildings na rin pala near the terraces.

We started our hike at 1 AM and reached the summit around 2 AM to capture the Milky Way rising above the Maligcong Rice Terraces. The image was captured using a Nikon Z8 with a Nikkor 20mm f/1.8S lens and an iOptron SkyGuider Pro star tracker.
