Non sarà di certo uno dei migliori scatti in notturna che vedrete ma per me questa foto ha un significato enorme. Io e un mio amico abbiamo passato giorni a studiare questo scatto, dalla location all'orario, fino al l'attrezzatura da utilizzare. Abbiamo fatto circa un km a piedi a notte fonda (erano circa le 4 del mattino, l'unico momento in cui la cometa cascava a pennello nel punto in cui doveva cascare, cioè vicino al pino solitario che si trovava su una piccola collinetta sperduta tra le campagne maremmane) e una volta raggiunto il punto prestabilito abbiamo iniziato a scattare. Purtroppo dopo aver scattato per una mezz'oretta uno spiacevole incontro con un'animale selvatico (tutt'ora non sappiamo cosa potesse essere) ci ha spinti a scappare a gambe levate. Che dire, i sacrifici sono stati tanti, e per un momento abbiamo pensato anche al peggio, ma siamo stati pienamente ricompensati da questa meraviglia. #cometa #comete #nightphoto #notturno #neowise #astrofotografia #stelle #paesaggio #cielo

The photo is beautiful in its essentiality. Well composed, perfectly legible in important details, beautiful colors. Congratulations on the commitment described in the caption, the sacrifices and risks faced were largely repaid, in my opinion.
Eao,
Jo.

Hello Samuele,
really, very beautiful and suggestive photo. I understand what it's like to have meticulously planned the photo... I also photographed neowise a few months ago at 4:00 in the morning... but in a location very close to home and reachable directly by car! ;-)
A couple of technical curiosities:
- I guess you've focused on the stars. The tree is also quite in focus, which amazes me a little at f1.8... did you happen to take two pictures for heaven and earth?
- the edges of the trunk of the tree are very emphasized... have you applied any post-processing procedures by any chance?
ciao and thank you, Daniele

Hi Daniele, thank you very much, your compliments are very pleased!
As far as your questions are concerned of course yes, I combined two shots, one with the stars in focus and one with the tree after which I joined them with Ps through the level masks
For the passages in the post I gave sharpness, clarity and saturation also slightly changing the balance of white in the lights (it was not really orange the sky, it was much more faded) still trying to maintain a "natural" coloring and finally I increased the whites in the sky to emphasize the stars.
I hope I've helped you
grazie again, Samuel
