So starting from today i'll be sharing a series of photos i took while i was attending Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche's Pema Lingpa empowerments at the Sang Ngak Ugyen Choling monastery in Kungri, Pin Valley (Spiti). We were up there for more than 3 weeks with no phone, internet and electricity that was off more than it was on.
It was still an amazing experience, self rising Guru Rinpoche on cliffs, rainbows around the sun, and locals who had the purest of devotions for the dharma and for Rinpoche.
Heres the first photo i am sharing. Its the Milky Way Galaxy rising over the monastery at 9:20 PM. We were at 3800m above sea level, and with almost zero light pollution...the milky way just glowed! If you see the original size (above link) you can even see some shooting stars!
Some people often ask me what my settings were for such shots:
Aperture: f2.8
Shutter: 15 seconds
ISO: 5000
Focal Length: 14mm (i used a 14-24mm wide lens)
I used an iphone app called "star walk" to track the milky way (time and direction). I also shot it on new moon day, so that there the stars would be brighter.
