Last Friday i tried to capture the Whirlpool Galaxy M51📸

🌌The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) is a spiral galaxy located about 23 million light-years away in Canes Venatici. It spans approximately 60,000 light-years and features prominent spiral arms with active star formation. M51 is interacting with the smaller galaxy NGC 5195, creating stunning tidal features that enhance its visual appeal.

The Eternal Companion, Once Again (11/24)

MC 3M-5CA 500mmf8 @ APS-C = 800mm
tripot
Canon R100 APS-C
80ms,f/8,ISO 100-200
single shot, color grading, slight sharpening

My best moonshot so far, in my opinion. Feedback and tips for improvement are welcome. It is damn hard to nail the focus with this lens, also with focus-peaking. There is always some kind of luck involved here. The focus lottery so to say :-)

Have you been under the stars in Alabama Hills? Fantastic rock formations, and the mighty Sierra Nevada mountains nearby. This is not quite a super dark sky photo, as the moon was already rising, illuminating the mountains. But still, we can see the Milky Way overhead. To create this night photo, I set the camera on a tripod. I opened the camera shutter for a long time. While the shutter was open, I walked around with a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light capable of producing different colors, and illuminated the scene. During the exposure, all the light I shined on the subject was cumulative. This process is called "light painting". Why? Because one uses the flashlight as a paint brush, "brushing" on light, not paint. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. And it's more fun than AI-generated images.
