p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Milky way, Aurora, falling star... what.. no unicorn? | |
This is the most satisfying night shot I've taken in a while. First of all the setup was pretty difficult and not safe by any means. Here I was perched on 2 boulders with the waves crashing between my legs at 2am in the morning, in semi-complete darkness. I had to apply some light painting with my flashlight to bring out the foreground a bit. I took 6 shots, basically 2 photos since I shoot with a TS lens, and then moved to safer ground as it was getting a bit too close for comfort.
The satisfaction came when i got back to the lodge though. You see, one can't really see the Milky Way with the naked eye while the Aurora is up. There's too much light pollution. So it wasn't until I opened this in LR that I realized what I had here. Not to mention that smack above the left-most mountain there's a shooting star. I simply stared at it in disbelief, at some point I wondered if there was a unicorn in the frame as well, by any chance. You know, just to balance things a bit... :-D
