Following on from my previous image and waiting for the aurora that was not to be. On top of Mt Pilot after rain there are a few fresh water pools in depressions in the solid granite. With the Milky Way overhead and the Zodiacal light streaming up from the horizon I couldn't resist jumping in front of the camera.

13/09/2014
Mt Pilot, Australia.
7 image vertical panorama. Canon 6D, 14mm, F/2.8, ISO 6400, 30 Seconds.

Putting the human element in this really adds to the other wordliness of this shot. Looks like you are waiting to be "beamed up" ahem. (if you don't get that, then I'm you're just too young ) It's that light that seems to be emanating from he Milky Way and spreads out as it approaches the horizon. I know it's probably just light pollution, but hey, it works.

Thank you so much Of course I get the "Beamed up reference (I'm 35) Β  That light streaming up towards the Milky Way is the Zodiacal Light and is caused but sunlight reflecting of small dust particles in the plane of the solar system.

So THATS's what zodiacal light is. Was going to look it up, as didn't know and hadn't ever heard of it before. Thanks so much for the info there! Keep up the amazing work!!
