Ross, that’s a very nice “artistic” impression, but here, in the Southern Hemisphere, we can’t have everything, can we?
Hi Ian, glad you like the photo.
Push things to the extreme and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
By doing a few approximations using FOV, latitude, altitude and azimuth you'll find that we do have more to see in the Southern Hemisphere than you realise.
Nice work again Ross. I'm usually not a fan of compositing, but your work is artist, minimalist and appeals to me. Makes me more determined to capture scenes like this in camera one day. Thanks
I like the idea and execution. It's something I've wanted to do but not got around to. I don't have a problem with this kind of art which is not technically accurate in terms of being a photo exactly as was seen.
I think you could safely push the boundary further with the landscape silhouette being of greater contrast to the background, probably by way of the sky being slightly lighter while retaining the foreground as 2D silhouettes only.

Hi Colin.
Thanks for the kind comments, coming from you, they are very encouraging.
I agree with you that it would be great to capture these scenes " in camera".
However, until the necessary improvements in equipment are available, maybe we have to resort to a bit of stacking (..compositing?..) to produce the photo that we know is there as we do with deep sky objects where the stacking and combining of many different photos, taken at different times, through different filters, is the accepted way.
...................just a thought.
I would love to see photos like these taken by you. With your skills in photography and processing and the locations you get to, they would be amazing!

Hi Roger.
Thank you for the kind comments and support.
I was not sure how these type of photos would be received.
I am still at the early stages and have a lot of experimenting and learning to go.
I think if we apply the freedoms allowed to us in the imaging and processing of Deep Sky Objects, some interesting and beautiful photos could result
Thanks for the suggestions, I will give them a try.
