The deserts of Argentina take on a starring role in this photographer’s breathtaking Milky Way shots.
Amateur snapper Gonzalo Javier Santile, 46, spent the last two years capturing these rare shots of the galaxy as it arced over deserts in Salta Cafayate, Cordoba Valle de Punilla, Provincia de Buenos Aires and the Rio Negro province.
In his pictures, the Milky Way can be admired as it towers over canyons, cacti, bushes, and even small brooks and lakes.

Breathtaking...
Love it!
Pics aside
Yahoo newsfeed is a cesspool
Did he use a Polaroid, or Instamatic?
Probably because of THAT, I see these photos as being suspiciously photo shopped.
If you've been around a lot and your eyes have been "woke" all those years, there's a TON o'stuff up there in the memory banks.
Just sayin'
If you look at the sky with night vision, you would be surprised at all the stars we are missing in visible light. I wish night vision would improve to make it viable for high resolution star gazing

Just so you know, you are never, ever going to see these things with your own eyes. These pictures are composites. Firt, you won’t see the Milky Way like that, even if you go to any of the few remaining “dark skies” places left in the U.S. They are made by long exposure cameras that follow the rotation of the Earth to get that sort of detail. Then the photographer superimposes desert scenes on top of them. Nice, but false. If you really want to see the stars as they are, I recommend eastern Nevada on a moonless night. And by that I don’t mean Las Vegas. You have to travel at least 100 miles north of Vegas to get away from the lights. 200 would be better. And bring a jacket and plenty of water.”
These guys use a modified canon EOS to make some pretty cool pictures.

They ARE beautiful "photos", but the same torch carryin' dude in almost every one ?
The album covers were equally beautiful and dazzling .... spent MANY a stoned hour just "entering" those illustrations .....
People STILL pore over Sgt. Peppers'
Lonesome Ridge in the Guadalupe Mountains. Best place to see the stars.
Gen 3 white phosphor night vision is amazing! Wish I could afford expensive toys...
what’s with the people and lights? they look fake. I’d rather just see the amazingly beauty of the sky and nature.
I had a Gen 3 PVS14 for a while. It truly was amazing how many stars I could see.
All the empty holes were filled. d:^)
They’re no more photoshopped than any other digital photo these days, it’s just that digital cameras are so much more sensitive to light than film ever was. That said, this type of photography has become such a cliche in just a few years that a friend of mine even started an Instagram account using a frighteningly detailed action figure (doll) to mock it.

I don’t think these shots were photoshopped in anyway that altered their composition. What the photographer did was use a fisheye lens with a 180 degree field of view. He kept some prominent landscape feature in the center to avoid the appearance of distortion, and let the lens bend the sky in an arc.
These photos are done with a recent model run-of-the-mill DSLR.
... or interchangeable lens mirrorless camera. Either way, you can take photos like this with just about any recent digital camera with an interchangeable lenses.
The super wide ones are stitched together from multiple photographs.
