Description

I've driven by this boat a bunch of times and thought it would make a great foreground for a Milky Way shot. When I'm in the area, I'm usually birding or going to Martinique Beach to shoot Astrophotography. In the latter case, I can't leave my gear alone so I haven't been able to get the shot I wanted.
For this one, I captured the foreground about 30 mins after sunset with a single 1/5th of a second foreground shot. I captured the Milky Way from the beach at Martinique at dark by taking 5 exposures at 1min, f/2.8 and ISO800 with my star tracker and my Nikon Z6II and Rokinon 24mm 1.4 lens. I blended the foreground and background in Photoshop to get the final image. At this time of year, this image is pretty accurate in terms of the foreground and background alignment.
