Milky Way Rising

Canon XTI, f3.5, 18mm, ISO1600, 165 seconds exposure.
This is a beautiful pic of the Milky way, the horizon with some trees and hills gives a perfect framing to the stars. Clean air a steady tripod and a long exposure are needed as well as getting up very very early. The IS01600 settings gives some texture to the sky.
