THE RITUAL
A blend of two shots from the same position, a two minute exposure for the foreground and a two minute tracked exposure for the sky using my Skywatcher Star Adventurer. The temple was lit up inside by a red led panel and I wafted the Alyn Wallace Star Glow filter infront of my lens for around a minute to make the stars pop. Then when home blended both images together in Photoshop, little bit of editing and this was the result. Cant believe ive not shot the milkyway from here before, thought there would be way too much light pollution but it turned out to be amazing. 

SOLOMONS TEMPLE
34 seconds exposure, iso 800 f4. Light spiral done with DJI Air 2, turning landing light on and manually spiraling around. Inside of the temple lit up by a red led panel. Shot with an astro modified Canon 6dmk1 with Canon 16-35f4mkii lens
