195 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
West Coast, New Zealand
I am excited to share "The Way," a breathtaking panorama of the Milky Way arcing over a rugged coastline in New Zealand.
This scene captures the vibrancy of nature’s palette, with incredible airglow painting the horizon in hues of orange and magenta. To the far left, the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds make an appearance, while the core of the Milky Way blazes brightly in the centre, as if illuminating the path to the west.
This image was a labour of love, taken on a serene night when the airglow was truly exceptional. In this ultra-wide panorama, you can see the airglow subtly shift from south to north, revealing the dynamic beauty of the night sky in vivid detail.
Photography often brings moments of introspection. While exploring this remote location, I found clarity in the quiet hours spent scouting compositions, waiting for the perfect light. It’s a time for the mind to wander—to reflect on the past, learn from it, and look to the future with hope. I shot the foreground during blue hour for maximum detail and clarity.
This image represents not just a photograph but a personal connection to the stillness and beauty of nature, reminding us of the wonders above and within. It was captured in a huge resolution to preserve every detail of the night sky.
