A WONDERFUL NIGHT
A reflection shot of the Milkyway taken near Grimsel mountain pass in the Swiss Alps. .
This is by far the most time-consuming shot I have created to this day (taking the shots and post-editing). I did already spend quite a long time under the stars taking the different photo layers (tracked, untracked, focus stacking & separate reflection exposures) which was then followed by a marathon post-processing session...well, I guess I should try this more often and with more practice perhaps be able to optimize the whole process a little bit. .
During those shots my wife was sleeping alongside in the alpine meadow. I do very much appreciate her patience and sympathy for my out of the ordinary hobby and her company out there in the dark! She usually tries to stay awake and watch some shooting stars but eventually falls asleep anyway. During these nights I am always absolutely fascinated and somehow spiritually touched. I consider it to be a great privilege to have the opportunity to spend such a wonderful time under the night sky. In terms of Alan Watts' analogy to the universe/life, to me this is "dancing" and "singing" to the cosmic music playing around us. So don't forget to dance and sing while the music is playing and make the most out of the brief period of time we have as stardust-composed human beings in this amazingly complex cosmos! .
