Milky Way Over Cabbage Trees (again)

Yeah, same old same old, back up to the garage for a late night blip.

Not bad stars tonight though... ;-)

Ask anyone about shooting Astrophotography and they'll recommend shooting raw files, but tonight I thought I'd experiment with some settings to get the most of Fuji's awesome jpeg rendering. Here's the result SOTC but taken into Lightroom added +5 clarity and +20 contrast. To be honest I think this is as good a night sky rendering as any raw file I've shot and processed, and it took a fraction of the time.

I think I might save this preset for my shots at Tekapo this weekend!

If you're a Fuji X series user and want to know what settings I used, post a comment below.
