Orion setting over the iconic Victoria Glacier at Lake Louise, frozen here in March, and with the scene lit by the light of the waxing Moon. I shot this during the few minutes when the star Sirius had just appeared from behind Mount Fairview at left, and just moments before the star Rigel in Orion set behind Mount Victoria. The Hyades and Pleiades in Taurus are at right over Mt. St. Piran and the Beehive. I was several hundred metres out from shore on the frozen lake. This was March 19, 2019. This is a panorama of 3 segments stitched with Adobe Camera Raw, each segment 8 seconds at f/3.5 with the Sigma 24mm Art lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 800. Minor adjustments of tonal balance applied with luminosity masks from Lumenzia.
The winter stars of Orion (centre), Canis Major (left) and Taurus (right) setting at Vermilion Lakes in Banff National Park, on March 18, 2019. Illumination is from moonlight from the waxing gibbous Moon off frame to the left. Sirius and the stars of Orion are reflected in the nearby open water. This is a panorama cropped from a set of 11 images, all with the 24mm Sigma Art lens at f/3.2 for 10 seconds each and the Nikon D750 at ISO 800, in portrait orientation. Stitched with Adobe Camera Raw. I applied an Orton glow effect to the landscape using Luminar.
These are the iconic red chairs of Parks Canada, here at frozen Two Jack Lake, Banff National Park, and under the moonlit winter sky, with Orion and Canis Major over Mount Rundle to the south. Sirius is the bright star over Rundle. This was March 18, 2019, with the scene illuminated by the gibbous Moon just at the frame edge here. This is a panorama of 11-segments, each 10 seconds at f/4 with the Sigma 24mm Art lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 800. Stitched with Adobe Camera Raw. I added an Orton glow effect with Luminar 3. The chairs, being in shadow, I light painted briefly with a white LED light.
