35mm selfi panorama of the
Milky Way
Details
Showing yourself under the night sky is not uncommon, especially as a beginner you tend to take pictures in which you point yourself into the sky with the flashlight 😀 (I advise against doing this, as you are often not alone and you can often see these lights very far away!)
At first I only wanted to show the landscape + sky in this picture, but I thought it would look a bit different if I stood next to it.
