Ben, Floyd and the Core

Description

Ben, Floyd & the Core

Winner of Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2019, People & Space, this is the photograph that changed my life and allowed me to be a full-time photographer.  A single 10 second exposure, taken with a remote control and with my camera on a tripod in the distance.  It is a self portrait of my dog Floyd & myself standing atop a small hill near Hadrian’s Wall.  To the left of us you can see Mars shining brightly and to the right, arching down behind the cloud you can see the Galactic Core of our Milky Way Galaxy.  26,000 light years away in the heart of these massive clouds of dust and gas lies Sagittarius A*, a Supermassive Black hole 6 million times the mass of our sun and this is the very hear of our galaxy.

Available framed in Oak, Black, Ultra HP Acrylic photo print or a HD Metallic print under acrylic glass

All large size photographs are limited and framed in either black or oak (any framing choice can be for catered for, just ask)

Small & medium framed are available with normal glass or AR70 ART Glass

Everything is printed and framed locally using other small Cumbrian businesses & to the highest standard

I use AR70 ART Glass for the non reflective option.  This is some of the best on the market and allows you to completely protect your artwork for UV (like the normal glass) but also have zero reflections so allowing you to see the photograph as it should be seen.  It also allow for much more creative options when lighting.
