13_CometNeowise
Prince Edward County ON, 10:42pm, 07/15/2020br/ Nikon D810a ISO 3200 10s exp f/2.8 58mm tripod, cable release.br/ A Comet image. Comet Neowise came out of nowhere to capture the imagination of the world. Its brief appearance gave average folks in the northern hemisphere a chance to literally connect with the Solar System, and the Universe simply by stepping outside and looking up in the sky after dark. The nights were warm, the comet was bright and it shone at its best in the evenings. Perfect! This image is my favourite because it was shot from my backyard, and gives a sense of scale above my house. They say a 50mm lens gives a close approximation to the human eye, and this was shot at 58mm. This comet was the biggest and brightest I have ever seen.
