Steve Paxton / Photos

The Emu Watching over us.

Well before the moon came up I saw this shot while I was on my own out in the landscape. The Emu in the Milky Way looking down at us as the milky way comes up on the Sagittarius Arm. This was only ever a TWO shot panorama more of the Sky than the ground but not forgetting the ground Lit by Low Level Lighting. Enjoy 1 am in the morning in the Black of night and the stars shining in the sky above.

Steve Paxton replied to Ko Hummel:

Ko I fully understand I love a straight up shot as well. This had to be two shots to get the whole milky way in. this is the view of the core and the Sagittarius arm of the milky way. I am dead against "putting the sky in" any where you like cause you know how to use editing programs nothing real in that. This is straight out of the camera as taken and planned.

I love your photos... and you have the right gear too. I took some with my Leica but of course in my own possibilities.

That was my aim just the Emu as it stood out so well. Many thanks we had hoped to do more but feel the fuel crisis will hold us back from going to far out.
