unfortunately, it is not my photo.

and the comet "was" visable because I was standing about 100m from where this shot was taken.
everything is as it looked!

note: this has not been photoshopped.

Might not have been edited with Photoshop the program but its been stitched and merged and has had a lot of post processing done to it. There are at least 2 possibly 3 seperate exposures in that image.

In laymans terms its been "photoshopped" to the max or else its scanned film from a Xpan and if thats the case it was done with a very very hi rez scanner like a Imagecon or something.

3 exposures to be exact.

sorry guys,
in that case, I stand corrected on the photoshop bit.
in the original email I recieved, it was stated that the photo was geniune and hadn`t been photoshopped although time lapse and a special lens were emlpoyed to capture everything.
but as I said I was there, the comet was there, and that is pretty much how it looked.
regardless, it was an awsome night.
and it is still an awsome photo.
