This Other World

A winter night while backpacking alone in the White Mountains of

California. Below zero temps but worth it for skies like this! This

image is 4 vertical images stitched together for a huge field of view

and blended with 4 more across the landscape for the best detail and

dynamic range.

What can you say - other than fantastic work!!! The wood is impressive, almost with a life of its own, the angle you chose is superb, the details come through with impressive clarity and choosing to bring out the night sky the way you have gives the whole thing the other-worldliness that the title suggests. Super!! Thanks for the time and energy and thanks for sharing a fantastic photo!

Spectacular! excellent composition, sky is unbelievable! great work Marc!

Really other world , Speechless ! But why in this size Marc ?!

Because the native maximum size you can post here is 640 pixels - that's it.  Any bigger than that and what you are seeing is an auto-compressed file, which is softened a lot.  I don't want you to see that first and then have to click on the 'larger image' just to see it bigger.  If you want to see it bigger, you can look at any of the other photo websites I post to, like FredMiranda.com, which display large image sizes in their designated display areas. 

In fact, here:  http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1124034/0#10734062  ..............that's the most useful article I've probably ever done on my night stuff, and you can see them bigger.

Many TNX dear Marc for Ur info , I saw it & bigger size was more than Awesome , Take care Bro & RGDS

Awesome!! 

Well done!!!

I can almost hear the laugh of an evil villain,  Voltar of Regulis 7 (or whatever planet you might have in mind).  Nice image.

Okay. WOW !

Love this!

Maybe the best Milky Way shot I've ever seen.  Beautifully executed.  Thanks for sharing.

You are obviously one of the best landscape photographers on this site and almost everytime I see one of your pictures about all I can say is wow and how in the heck do you find these amazing places.

beautiful!
