The Hunter and the Bull

I've been wanting to shoot something like this for a while, but unfortunately the weather hasn't been very obliging. I figured I'd post my draft work-in-process anyway...

35 mm, 15 sec, f/2, ISO 3200 with a stock Canon 5DmkII and 35 mm f/1.4L on a fixed tripod; layered with constellation art from Stellarium.

Larger 1350px version

Great idea and well executed, Dave. Looking forward to the final version...

I like what you've done Dave.

Puts the stars and clusters into perspective.

Cheers

Nice shot

But I prefer our Southern Hemisphere orientation

Thanks for the kind comments, everyone!

I'm back to classes at uni already which means less time for IIS...

Try facing south, looking up, and bending your neck all the way back... works the same

Those stars look amazing. Little soft balls.

Clever concept and nicely executed. Thevinal version. Have no doubt will b a stunner

Cool. Must confess have always scratched my heard at how the Hyades V shape is a bulls head - not surprising much easier to interpret upside down.

Nice one Dave.

Like that a lot. Very pretty picture. Great star colors and composition. The overlays are a plus.

Lovely shot. You kept nice star colours there which really makes the image.

Greg.
