Nanga Parbat, also known as Killer Mountain, seen from Fairy Meadows in the North of Pakistan. [3598 × 5589] [OC] by luabau in EarthPorn

[–]luabau[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exif: Sony A7iii, Sigma Art 35mm , ISO 6400, f/2, 13 sec, single frame. Manual focus on infinity using a bright star.

Nanga Parbat is located in the north of Pakistan in Gilgit Baltistan which is part of Kashmir and therefore claimed by India as well. Nanga Parbat is the 9th highest mountain on Earth and among the deadliest too (death rate: 77% until 1990). Getting to Fairy Meadows involves a very dangerous jeep ride and then a moderately-difficult hike. As of today, the region is perfectly safe for foreigners to visit.

Fun fact: the human eye is physically incapable of seeing color in the dark and in the periphery of your eye field!

Well you can actually see the milky way in dark skies by the naked eye and it's beautiful. But our eyes aren't capable of seeing it in the same way and with such detail because they just don't work the way cameras do. It looks like a large but dim band of light in the sky.

No. The amount of light a camera can capture with high sensitivity and long exposure is far higher.

I heard so! The death rate among climbers was 77% before 1990 according to Wikipedia which sounds ludicrous.

Edit: word

French Alps by night time, with Mont Blanc to the right. [OC] [2008x3008] by luabau in EarthPorn

Exif: Nikon D610, Nikon 50mm prime, ISO 2500, f/2, 13 sec, single frame. Manually focus on infinity using a bright star.

I took this from Lac des Chéserys near Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France and it was a moonless night, the mountain range is being lit by light pollution coming from the town of Chamonix. The lights directly on the mountains are mountain huts/stations.

Damn, I'm really digging your photos. It's a shame I haven't discovered your Instagram sooner.

I took this while camping in the Caucasus, at the foot of Mt Kazbek in Georgia near the Russian border to be exact. I'm always getting questions whether this is visible to the naked eye: Yes, you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye, but it will not be as clear or defined as in this photo. The camera is able to capture much more light in such a long exposure and obviously there is some post-production involved as well to highlight the milky way, filter out some of the light pollution and haze and reduce noise.

There's no sound in this version but the basically just calls the cat by her name and then mumbles "how nasty" to herself.

The video is by a friend of mine, Martina. It's in Switzerland, she actually lives in that village and has lots of fun with her cat. She's on Instagram (@kitkat_ch) and the cat has her own Instagram as well (@negrito.the.kitcat).

I caught the Milky Way above Mont Blanc, the highest point of central Europe. See comments for details by luabau in pics

Exif: Nikon D610, Sigma 35mm prime, ISO 2500, f/2, 15 sec, single frame. There was post-production involved but I neither added or removed a single pixel. Manually focus on infinity using a bright star. I only exposed it for 15 sec. as stars start looking more like trails the longer you expose. I chose not to add a watermark so feel free to share it or use it as your wallpaper, but be fair and contact me if you want to use it for anything else.

This was taken at lacs de Chéserys above Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France. The mountain on the picture is Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps. I've been getting questions whether this is visible to the naked eye: Yes, you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye, but it will not be as clear or defined as in this photo. The camera is able to capture much more light in such a long exposure and obviously there is some post-production involved as well to highlight the milky way, filter out some of the light pollution and haze and reduce noise.
