Description

I had a vision for an image like this for a few years but had a lot of learning to do before I could achieve it, the conditions also needed to be perfect. The weather, star alignment, and the location. This image was shortlisted for the prestigious Royal Museums Greenwich Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition. I'm so pleased that just recently an article was published in the “BBC Sky at Night Magazine” alongside an in-depth and technical article I wrote on how this image was created. Standing under the night sky for long periods of time gets me thinking, thinking about existential questions. Like if there's life out there? How do we comprehend the incomprehensible vastness and scale of the universe? I never have the answers but it's nice knowing I'm capturing photons that have travelled lightyears to reach my camera sensor. I shot the mountain at blue hour after the sun had set, this allowed me to get a clearer image and more detail in the mountain. I then waited for darkness and tracked the Orion Constellation (also known as The Hunter) across the sky taking multiple exposures, Orion’s orientation and position in the summer sky aligned perfectly with this mountain. This was shot on New Year's Eve in the Canterbury High Country, New Zealand. Near Lake Ohau. The collector of this 1/1 NFT can claim a high-quality acrylic print, 24 inches on the long edge. This NFT is 3651x5477px
