Stunning image John. Always love seeing your process, even if you do have to get your feet wet. Looks like you gave that new Sigma 24mm art a workout on this trip too. Well done mate.

I truly admire your dedication and skill to spend an entire night to capture one single image. But man, what an image. It's breathtakingly beautiful with quality second to none. I've seen a lot of your work but this would have to be your masterpiece. Thanks for sharing it's creation. Levin.

Thanks so much mate, it definitely takes alot of work in the field to get these types of images,

Nice work John ...... I almost feel like I've been to that location! 😎 Your foreground is very crisp and the sky is excellent. Can't wait to see the images ....... just had a look on FB and I like the video images better. The weeds are so sharp and the sky is full of detail. I wonder where the next adventure will take you? 🏆😁👍

An absolute gem John, I don't know how I missed the video. Menindee Lakes is an incredible spot, a couple of us ducked over there some time back for astro and as usual with these things, sunset was good 🤣. Australian outback is hard to beat! Thanks for another fabulous video 😁

What an image John!! I totally agree with you that, these images are even more stunning if they are taken from a symbolic place, that is my goal here with the Basque Country landscapes. Time is the major constraint at the moment though…

Brilliant image and great story telling. The drone footage and out of car footage just sets the scene so well. What a magic place but I cannot imagine how hard that journey must have been for Bourke and Wills. And the number of snakes might keep some of the tourists away!! 🤣🤣 Well done John

Thanks carl 👍 really appreciate that mate, the history of the place is a big part of the image for me.

You lost me at snakes, and I grew up in an area known for rattlesnakes - it was even our high-school mascot. I would have had two layers of pants, cowboy boots and Kevlar gaiters on. And I would not have gone anywhere near the water...in the dark no less. Incredible image as always. You are dedicated to your craft.

Well your considerable efforts certainly paid off, John! What an absolutely stunning image; the Zodiacal Light is perfectly framed and so gloriously ethereal. Awesome.

There is one company that does it in Australia called camera clinic in Melbourne, but you have to ask yourself why I send my cameras to the USA when there is a shop that does it here...

Another fantastic photo! 2 questions if you have time: I couldn't quite catch your comment about the foreground - did you stack 4 photos of each panel, or adjust between them to ensure all parts were in focus? Secondly, what is the tripod you're using? At least the carbon should handle salt lakes better than metal!😂

@johnrutterphotography

Thanks Mark 👍 I did a focus stack, so I took 4 images per panel at different focus points to get everything in focus. The tripod is an artcise c90
