Comet over Hoodoos at Dinosaur Park in Twilight (July 14, 2020)
{"Image ImageDescription": "Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) over some of the eroded hoodoo formations at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, July 14-15, 2020. Twilight colours the sky. In this case the foreground is mildly light painted with a warm LED light. This was from the Trail of the Fossil Hunters site. \\n\\nThis is a stack of 6 exposures for the ground (2- and 5-minute exposures at ISO 400 and f/8 for depth of field) to smooth noise, blended with a single 20-second untracked exposure of the sky at f/2.8 and ISO 1600, all with the 35mm Canon lens and Canon 6D MkII camera. Some of the long exposures I light painted.\\n\\nLENR employed on all shots on this warm night to eliminate thermal noise and speckling. ON1 Dynamic Contrast filter applied to the ground. Plus some dodging and burning applied to the ground using a neutral grey layer on Overlay blend mode to better sculpt the foreground, despite the light painting. The sky is lit by twilight that is perpetual in summer at this latitude of 51\u00b0 N.", "Image Make": "Canon", "Image Model": "Canon EOS 6D Mark II", "Image XResolution": "72", "Image YResolution": "72", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic 9.3 (Macintosh)", "Image DateTime": "2020:07:18 13:55:21", "Image Artist": "Alan Dyer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered", "Image Copyright": "\u00a9 2020 Alan Dyer", "Image ExifOffset": "1282", "EXIF ExposureTime": "119", "EXIF ExposureProgram": "9", "EXIF ISOSpeedRatings": "400", "EXIF ExifVersion": "0232", "EXIF DateTimeOriginal": "2020:07:14 23:26:13", "EXIF DateTimeDigitized": "2020:07:14 23:26:13", "EXIF ComponentsConfiguration": "YCbCr", "EXIF ApertureValue": "6", "EXIF MeteringMode": "Pattern", "EXIF Flash": "Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode", "EXIF FocalLength": "35", "EXIF FlashPixVersion": "0100", "EXIF ColorSpace": "sRGB", "EXIF ExposureMode": "Auto Exposure", "EXIF WhiteBalance": "Manual", "EXIF SceneCaptureType": "Standard", "EXIF BodySerialNumber": "022021003392", "EXIF LensModel": "EF35mm f/1.4L USM", "EXIF LensSerialNumber": "0000000000"}
