Milky Way (best viewed large if you have time)

With flat horizons and grassy vegetation what I have the best view of is the sky, particularly at night. With no city lights stargazing is great. However, I have not learned how to take advantage of that for my photography. So, here's my first attempt at the Milky Way, which looked like a blanket of black with some white dots until I discovered noise reduction and some other tweeking in Lightroom. Might still be a bit dark, but I am learning one image at a time. I am beginning to appreciate post-processing! I think I need to find some interesting silhouettes to include, but that's for another night.
Love the infinity aspect of this!

lovely shot! I've not tried star photos yet, although I've meant to for months. I think you'll get less noise with a lower ISO than 1600, although you'll need to increase the exposure quite a bit, although there is the danger of getting star trails.

I like how the trees in the corner frame the picture and give it context. This image came out really nice.

Really wonderful milky way shot! I'm hoping to get one in about a week or so. I think you did a great job!
