Diffuse nebulae
Please View This LARGE On Black
The brilliant streaks of light on this shot are background lighting seen through a large silken banner that was hanging in the air. The motion caused by the cloth caught in a breeze caused the slight blurs making them look more like gas clouds in space.
I was surrounded by these beautifully bright and colourful banners one evening in front of Dilli Haat in New Delhi, India. It had been raining on and off and since there was also slight breeze, the cloth was not completely wet and caught the falling droplets of rain in a slanting fashion across it, which led to these beautiful streaks being caused by the light in the background shining through the wet parts. This image was shot in portrait view and I have rotated it to a landscape view to bring forth the feeling of brilliant gaseous clouds out in deep space where stars are born. As mentioned by Wikipedia - Diffuse nebulae are called so since they are extended and have no well-defined boundaries. In visible light these nebulae may be divided into 'emission nebulae' and 'reflection nebulae', a categorization that depends on how the light we see is created.
