This might sound stupid but to get the milky way do you just need a clear night sky? Or is it only certain times of the year etc?

Always wanted to photograph it!

A dark sky (no light pollution - so far away from civilisation as possible for the best results)and pointing your camera in the right direction. Check out this youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKxQ3Dx6K95hpLpdJjTRIlg

It's so much fun :D, having another stab in Wales this weekend but we're due cloudy skies :(. A few useful apps to show the Milky Way AR style on your phone.
 
Right'o thanks chaps! Off to the wife's parents next weekend whom are in the mountains away from everything and everyone. If the sky is clear I think my luck is in :D
 
Some really lovely stuff in here :)

Posting these as I went out with the camera last night, hope you're not bored of sunsets :o

The sky was to die for last night! Also have been reading a lot on how to improve my landscape work, and trying to implement that into my work. Also both 6 & 7 were shot using the Olympus Hi-Res shot mode. Which takes some getting used to. Good fun though :)

Enjoy!
