Comet NEOWISE: Dawn Twilight Portrait

2020-07-11 By Roger Edwards

Comet NEOWISE: Dawn Twilight Portrait

Zooming in from the previous landscape view, and flipping to portrait alignment, allowed the ground (and a reference tree) to remain in view while capturing an even bigger view of the delightful comet NEOWISE.  The comet was visible with the naked eye, but barely, and the sky was somewhat darker than this image indicates.  Time exposures of about 5 or 6 seconds allowed enough light to be consumed by the camera sensor, at ISO 1600 and aperture f/5.0,  to make the comet pop, and to nicely differentiate head and tail, despite the somewhat hazy, very humid lower troposphere of Oklahoma in midsummer.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
