Bubble Universe

[colinmlegg (Colin)]

Recent findings from cosmology suggest our universe may be one of many... a bubble in an infinite multiverse. This is my photographic homage to that mind boggling possibility!

Taken last week in the outback of South Australia. All light is natural. Stars, Venus, Zodiacal light and Airglow (with gravity wave zebra stripes) light the scene.

I've been after this image for ages and happy that things finally lined up. It's actually quite hard now to find locations with zero light pollution, plus a large lake bed with thin layer of water, little to no wind and not too far off the beaten track.

15 frame 360 pano with Canon 6D + Nikon 14-24 @ 18mm, iso 6400, f/2.8, 25 s.

Absolutely surreal view Amazing panorama, Colin ! I can just repeat Greg, saying that location, planning, and execution have been simply superb !

What is your definition of 'not too far off the beaten track'?

I imagine it is a little different to most other people's!

Greg.

That's very unique! That's the best 360 projection I've ever seen. Well done!

[rustigsmed (Russell)]

that is awesome!

That's a really special image - brilliantly done. A 'which way is up' image, made even more mind-bending because of the 360 panorama and the trickery with the shallow, still water. Very cool indeed

Wonderful result Colin! Planning, Commitment, Nature falling in place and Execution all coming together in this beautiful bubble! Love it!
