“The best photos happen accidentally,” states Australian landscape photographer Anton Gorlin. While this statement may have some truth to it, it’s hard to deny that the creative eye and technical finesse of the artist played a significant part in materializing today’s featured image:
“A tree with the Milky Way with Mars, Saturn and Antares visible” by Anton Gorlin (Via antongorlin.com. Click image to see full size.)
Though Gorlin’s title is pretty self explanatory, it doesn’t make this nightscape any less wondrous. Captured over two 20-second exposures using a Nikon D750 equipped with a Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8, he claims to have come across this particular scene by happenstance en route to another location. As he looked over, he couldn’t help but notice the perfect alignment between the tree branches and the Milky Way above, resulting in this shot.
The surreal looking light hitting the tree itself actually stems from an ordinary streetlight just outside of the frame. Against the purples and pinks of the night sky, it’s stark and undeniably beautiful. Luckily for Gorlin, the small beachside suburb of Clovelly, Australia (where this scene is located) lacks the light pollution of neighboring Sydney, making it possible to capture a detailed view of the night sky.
Whether this shot is a matter of luck or skill is a topic up for debate. But there is one point on which we can all agree: stumbling into moments like this is what makes getting out with a camera in hand a worthwhile and exciting endeavor.
