I audibly gasped when I saw this photo in the back of my camera. I wasn't sure this shot would be possible... it was a massive risk to my camera (I set up two, one was fried!)
I call it "Piercing the Heavens". More about how it was captured and a link for fine art prints 👇
I am the stone that the builder refused
I am the visual, the inspiration
That made Lady sing the blues I'm the spark that makes your idea bright
The same spark that lights the dark
So that you can know your left from your right I am the ballot in your box, the bullet in the gun
The inner glow that lets you know to call your brother son
The story that just begun, the promise of what's to come
And I'ma remain a soldier 'til the war is won

When I started I lived in a light polluted city. I spent long nights working to get a faint glimpse of something. I did this for a long time before ever sharing an astrophoto.
The only thing special about me is I loved this enough to keep doing it when I was bad at it.
"People seem good while they are oppressed, but they only wish to become oppressors in their turn: life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim."
