seconds to read the caption; let's just say not all meteor photographers are
this fortunate.<<
A couple questions come to my mind about these two photographs. ..
1) The wide angle exposure showing the milky way with pin point stars tells
me that the camera was guided in some manner and locked in with the movement
of the stars. That being the case, why is the clouds and ayers rock images
not smudged or blurred from the movement?
2) Why is this guy making an exposure with a telephoto lens aimed low to the
ground? Or Maybe the picture from the telephoto lens wasn't meant to be a
"sky" photograph? Instead, maybe he was trying to take a long exposure of Ayers
Rock using the light of the Milky Way?
Anyhow, I personally get the impression that we are looking at some darkroom
or computer manipulations from 2 or 3 different exposures.
