Comet McNaught

Unbelievably great

Love the foreground – well done!

Awesome.

Not sure what is more impressive, the comet or the infinate field of poppies. WOW

Great shot of the comet. Reminds me a lot of the the first view I had of it which was also only 1 of 2 views before it slipped below our horizon and put on such a good show for you lot.

I know I have already commented, but….Holy Cow!!!!!

I love the poppy field, the lighting and the colour, brilliant work once again!

Waaah! This is so unusual i’m liking it alot! The composition is enthralling.

Amazing!

Awesome capture with the poppy fields in the foreground!

that’s extraordinary. this is an amazing once-in-a-lifetime capture and you pulled it off wonderfully. great job!

Fantastic shot Peter.

This is really interesting I just don’t know what the best part is, the field or the sky, maybe you should do a crop of both

Superbly done, it’s very rare to see one of these Comet McNaught compositions…in a poppyseed plantation?! haha great job.

Beautiful shot!!

magic! great capture… that light comet makes it… I like how you have illuminated the foreground creating some interest there too… well done!

So perfect. Well done

Thanks to all of you, for the great feedback on this one!!
Yes, Enrico, I carried a battery-powered torch (flashlight) with me and during the 15-second exposure, I ‘painted’ the foreground with light.
Camera was mounted on a tripod – Canon 5D with 50mm f1.8 lens at f8.0. ISO 400.

incredible photo- well done Peter! it really is beautiful with the poppies in the foreground- the light and colours. It’s extra special

Sensational image Peter, this is brilliant.

You have put it all together in one fabulous package… the comet, the flowers/lightpainted, the lovely remaining blue in the sky – superb!
