“Good friends are like stars, you don’t always see them, but you know they’re always there”, an old saying goes.
A Milky Way shot to open the photography year 2020. Taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and the mZuiko 7-14mm F/2.8. Image specs 20 sec (camera on a tripod) @ f/2.8 , ISO 3200 and 7mm focal length.
Postprocessing of the RAW in Lightroom Classic – mainly using haze reduction and increasing clarity in parts of the Milky Way, plus some overall sharpness masking and noise reduction.
Wish you a great Thursday!
Marcus

I really do love this quote because it’s true. I only have a few friends that I don’t talk to often because of our very busy lives but I always know that if we are in a difficult situation, we’re always there at the drop of a hat. It’s a great blessing.

Funny that you posted that saying today. Yesterday as I was cleaning and organizing my leftover Christmas papers and cards I came across a birthday card from a dear friend with that exact saying. It touched me as I read it again.
That is an awesome story, Carol! Thanks for sharing it! Marcus
