One of my favourite places in the world, Bells Beach. It is one of the most consistent surf breaks in Australia holding from 1ft to 10ft+. Also faces south giving a lovely perspective of the Milky Way 🌌

real nice part of the world

Great shot mate. I never seem to nail these star shots. Would be interested to know your exposure and camera settings. I take this is all in camera and not multiple images?

Thanks mate. My go to settings for these shots are ISO3200, f2.8, 25 second exposure on a tripod. This was on the 24-70mm lens at 24mm on a Sony A7R2 which has pretty good low light performance. Any longer than 25sec at 24mm and you start to get star trails from the earth spinning. I love playing around with these shots as you never know what you’re going to get!

That’s great. Thanks. Do you need to be away from light pollution to get the Milky Way?

Yeah relatively, this shot is facing south. You can still see it vaguely around towns but the darker showers the better. Some I’ve seen at sea have been incredible
