When worlds collide

Well, it is slider Sunday!!

 

Outside storm Ciara is battering the UK with 80mph winds and we are all hunkered down indoors, I've lost a fence already.

 

In spite of Santa bringing me a new 16mm-35mm lens for Xmas, I've not been inspired to go outside with it yet. But creative photography isn't just about taking wonderful photographs, it's about creating......

 

Creating this image took some time, it involved flying down to the Italian Dolomites to get a pano shot of the Tre Cime Di Lavaredo mountains and then booking time on the Hubble space telescope to get the colliding galaxy shot - imagine how hard 'that' was?

 

Processed in Lightroom and Luminar 4.

I've always been a big science fiction fan so I'm quite pleased with the way this one turned out.
