Hello Ricardo.

Definitely, it was well worth to wait for this spectacle of nature. Even with the cold night and wind. Amazing view, something that we can see far away of the cities. Magnificent picture. Congrats!

Kind regrad s MAlgo

Bonjour, cher Ricardo,
Dessine-moi un ciel de rêve, eh bien, voilà la représentation que l'on peut se faire d'un magnifique ciel onirique.
Superbe présentation.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Ricardo,
You captured this sky very well. The colours are amazing and the impression is similar to an abstract painting. It is really a stunning and very attractive view, perfectly exposed.
Kind regards,
Gert

Exceptional technique done here, Ricardo, and the outcome is magnificent.
Long shutter speed with high ISO and yet we see no grains effect over the pic. space.
Parabens e bom domingo.
Ike

Fantastic shot, I think it was a successful experiment, I guess the lights on horizon are city lights

Hello Ricardo,

your success was worth every minute of shivering in the coldness. What I consider most astounding is the low elevation angle of the Milky Way above horizon, a view which seems impossible to me for central Europe.

Well done!
Regards from Germany

Olá, Ricardo!

Que maravilha de céu estrelado! Acho que tenho que pegar umas dicas com você sobre isso, pois estou indo esta semana para o Chile, onde pretendo tentar umas fotos desse tipo lá no Atacama! As cores ficaram sensacionais, e uma nitidez perfeita! Belíssimo trabalho!

Hello Ricardo,
This is a beautiful view, with great colors and a wonderful exposure of the stars. The sky has a magical quality to it, and I like all the patterns. It almost looks like bits of glitter sprinkled on a canvas. Very nice! :-)

Olá, Ricardo!

Com certeza valeu o sacrifício, a foto ficou deslumbrante! Para uma primeira vez, você se saiu muito bem. É possível ver diversas estrelas e esses "rastros" no centro. No Atacama tive um vista parecida, mas infelizmente não consegui tirar nenhuma foto.
Foto sensacional, parabéns!
