This astrophotography image of Comet Lemmon next to Mount Hood in Oregon, consists of three different images composed together. All three photos were taken with the same lens at different focal ranges and exposure times in order to achieve the results seen here. The real magic happens during the processing of the images, in order to complete a photographic masterpiece. This is one of the first real astrophotography images I have taken with the comet next to a beautiful piece of scenery on location. The only composite made, is the comet at a focal range of 600 mm next to a 60 mm wider angle scenic shot.

I decided to create the image like this to see the full scope of what my camera and lens is capable of. If I had taken this photo from 50 miles away, the image would reveal a close up comet next to Mount Hood all in one shot, as it appears in this creative photography. In order to get the best of both worlds, I combined a detailed image of Mount hood at closer range of less than 2 miles away with Comet Lemmon viewed from a 600mm focal range. I really enjoy the artistic side of rendering wildlife and landscape photos. I have discovered over the years, that night time photography is one of the most challenging to create well balanced imagery, while maintaining somewhat of a realistic approach.
