PHOTOGRAPHING THE HEAVENS
This beautifully produced hardback book, containing over 60 large-format photographs, will appeal to anyone interested in photography, the scale of the Universe and our place in it.
Photographing the Heavens contains a wealth of fascinating astronomical information, along with all the guidance you need to capture the beauty of the night sky with a regular digital camera and lenses. It explains the extraordinary variety of scales of the Universe that can be recorded with an ordinary digital camera, ranging from 100 km in the case of aurorae and meteors to 25 million million million km for the Andromeda galaxy. All the subjects described can be seen with the unaided eye and none of the pictures were taken with a telescope. The photographs include many iconic landscapes in Britain and overseas, such as Stonehenge, the Old Man of Storr on Skye, Norway’s Lofoten Islands and Utah’s Arches National Park.
Learn how to photograph the colour of the northern lights, the trail of the International Space Station, dazzling beads of brightness at the end of a total solar eclipse, five planets in a single image, a dark sky studded with countless stars, the Milky Way arching between opposite horizons, and structure in an unimaginably far-away galaxy.
