Milky Way !!!

This is my first ever attempt to photograph the night skies. I have done night long exposure shots many times but never turned the lens towards the sky. We went for camping last weekend and it was an amazing stargazing night with fantastic people. One of our friend was our guide for the stargazing. He taught us all the details about where to look for what and we could see awesome details with simple binoculars. That is when we saw the milky way that was visible clearly to naked eye. And I decided to try and capture it ........ I surprised myself with the kind of details the camera ended up capturing. 

Milky Way is the one of the billion galaxies out there that contains our Solar system, Our Solar system contains many planets and earth is one of them, and on this earth we are one of the billions of people ............ it took me a while to realize my tiniest existence in the vast reality.
 
Here are the results. Hope you enjoy them too.
