Milky Way / Via Láctea by Chaval Brasil.
[Explored]

On the highway back from the paradise of Jericoacoara, middle of nowhere, no Moon on the sky, just stars.

I never seen a starry sky like this before.

Combined 7 exposures of 30 seconds each, at ISO 1600 and f/2.8.

See a single exposure of 30s here.

Na estrada voltando do paraíso de Jericoacoara, no meio do nada, sem Lua no céu, só estrelas.

Eu nunca tinha visto antes um céu estrelado como esse.

Combinei 7 exposições de 30 segundos cada, em ISO 1600 e f/2.8.

Wow, this is incredible, like looking at a nebula! The blue color of the stars themselves is also striking and adds to the beauty.
