The winners of the seventh annual Milky Way Photographer of the Year photo contest have been unveiled, showing the beauty of the night sky.
Tom Rae captured this beautiful image in Mount Cook National Park in New Zealand. The mountain, Aoraki/Mount Cook, is coated with winter snow, which Rae says are “rare alpine weather conditions” at the location.
Like Rae’s shot above, Ranieri crafted a panorama. In this case, the sky was shot at a 35mm focal length over several frames, while the foreground was shot at 14mm and focus-stacked.This is another photo shot in the Atacama Desert, although this time by photographer Yuri Beletsky.“I captured this view at one of the remote sites of the Atacama Desert in Chile.
“This natural phenomenon occurs due to a chemical reaction in the upper atmosphere, emitting faint light known as chemiluminescence,” Looten explains.The wide-angle panorama shows, from left to right, Sirius and the Orion constellation, Mars, the Pleiades, the California Nebula, Cassiopeia, the double cluster of Perseus, and Andromeda. The image comprises 40 shots, totaling about an hour of exposure time. Looten used an astro-modified Canon EOS 6D DSLR.
“I’m now dreaming of taking my two daughters to Socotra one day — for an experience they will never, ever forget.”“This Mars-like landscape is the shores of Ancient Lake Mungo, housing the oldest human remains outside Africa — a significant site for all humankind,” explains Rutter. “I knew I wanted to create an image that transported the viewer into a sea of purple flowers framed by the snow-covered Sierra and the Milky Way rising above,” Ryder explains.“Although this spot was special, it was the incredible panoply of color in the night sky that I captured on this night that really elevates this image.
“In the Teide National Park, situated at an altitude of around 2000 meters, clear skies are almost guaranteed, with lower clouds shielding city lights, minimizing light pollution,” Höfling explains.“My primary goal in astrophotography is to unveil the hidden beauty of the night sky beyond the visible stars. I’m especially passionate about showcasing our galaxy, the Milky Way, in all its glory.
