Impressive, to say the least.

Imagine trying to capture an image for two years!
I hardly have patience for the timer on my microwave let alone a picture.

Just goes to show what a little dedication and preserverance will get you!



Nice picture!

If he has a plan to take the picture, he's actively searching / waiting for the right lighting conditions, and he then takes the picture then I'd say it took two years to make it.

Kind of like cooking something, you plan to cook it, have the recipe, and have to let something sit two hours, it still took you two hours to make it.

It's still a great picture though, whether it took him two years or two minutes to take it!

Thanks for posting

Here is a link to a slideshow of the other photos that were taken on the island by astrophotographer Luc Perot.

This is some pretty amazing work.

Thanks for saving me the reading.
I was like Whahhhhh?!?! Two YEARS?!?!

I am a photographer and can not concieve of any way for a pic to take TWO years to make.
Cool pic though. I think that most people would be surprised at the quality of pics they could take of the milky way with their own cameras and a tripod.

I have plenty.
I'll post them sometime.
Pretty cool stuff.

you cant look at the milky way because we are part of it, when will people understand this...

the only way we could look at the milky way is if we are right now still eating another galaxy that we had a tug of war with and we are still eating the smaller galaxy... and i doubt it is ...

so this isnt the milky way
