In the remote Australian outback 50,000 years ago, this ancient lakebed dried creating unique lunette clay formations scattered around Mungo Mungo. I drove the 1000km west on a solo trip one way to look for new compositions showcasing the landscape under the night sky.
I had attempted this trip a year ago previously but my sedan didn't cope with the rough conditions. With a flat tyre with the tyre jack unable to lift the car due to the red dirt I walked 26km in the desert heat to find help. Just on dusk I found another car who took me back and helped out. It was too late to scout and was forced to turn back imageless.
This time however, I was better prepared for the terrain ahead.
For a few days I scouted the dry windy landscape spending long nights wandering sand dunes and being spooked by red eyed goats. On the second last day after seeing many ancient clay sculptures I was amazed by this one natural path that lead to a tall lunette. I checked my apps to see if the Milky Way aligned and I was amazed to see it matched perfectly with the composition I wanted to capture.
I trekked back at dusk, setup the camera equipment ready to photograph a vast 220° panoramic image I had envisioned. In total, it consists of 48 long exposure photographs to complete this view for high image quality.

A 16 piece collection by multi-award winning Milky Way Landscape Photographer David Magro.
A Cluster of Stars is a small collection of 8 years photographing the Milky Way over diverse Australian landscapes. Each photograph requires precise planning to align the foreground with the distant Milky Way 26,000 light years away. This alignment occurs on select nights of the year when no moon is visible in the sky and when Earth faces the centre of our galaxy after dark. Most photographs have taken years for elements to align with good viewing conditions.
Each night you are under the stars it provides you with a surreal experience watching the night sky once your eyes adjust. Meteors light up across the sky, stars rhythmic twinkle, constellations rise and fall and you get a sense of calm looking out into its vastness. Time passes by quickly.
I present 16 minted 1/1 photographs and time-lapses showcasing the Milky Way.
