This is the fourth naked-eye comet I've seen in my lifetime but the first I've photographed since watching your TH-cam channel. Rather than just a "shot of the comet" I wanted to get some foreground interest as I have learned from your videos. A dead tree in a nearby park along the Mississippi River was my choice and by a great stroke of luck, there was a barred owl sitting at the very top of the tree. Your tips often are useful, and, in this case, it gave my one of my favorite photos of all-time! Thanks, Mads. BTW, I especially like the photos where the windmill is "looking" at the comet.
Amazing photos, have not had the chance to venture out during its peak though stumbled upon it in light polluted skies on a trip with random background 😂 your shots (and all others) are a true inspiration.
I've been out every night since last Wednesday getting as many shots as possible and enjoying this beautiful comet! Cheers from Okanagan valley British Columbia 🇨🇦
This year has been amazing for astro photographer. What a treat! Even if technically, the fact that we have so many northern lights is not a good sign. Never the less, fantastic shots. My favourite was the middle one, even if the wings are not facing your camera.
beautiful photo. I had the idea with the windmill too. Unfortunately, the comet was never that bright for us. Clouds, fog and fog and clouds. Well, in the end I got a few simple photos. Neowise was better. But yours is perfect.
Beautiful! I think that I like best the last photo, with the windmill facing towards the viewer, because I like the clouds and the somewhat orange glow on the horizon. It does perhaps distract a bit from the comet and windmill, but I think it makes the overall picture more interesting to look at.
I like the 3rd photo the best . the windmill blades facing the camera is more pleasing, the blades are sharpest, and one blade directly at the head of the comment
Mads, you say that you are not an Astrophotographer, but you are making a more than half decent attempt at it!😅 Another brilliant and instructional video, personally I would be proud of any of the images!😀
Nice photos and you are very, very lucky to get to photograph the comet in a place like that. I tried finally photographing the comet oday here in Finland, but failed due to high wind speeds. And not having a car means, that I can't go to open places like in the video and view the comet well enough. And soon it'll be too late to try. But I'll still keep trying next week and let's see... Just a shame seeing all those nice comet photos all over social media and I didn't get one. I'm not normally a jealous person, but this just feel a bit sad. Although it's just a comet, having a photo of it would be a lifetime memory.
The photo in between is the best in my eyes, for the many aspects this image caries much attractiveness than the other two images! In the first image the comet and the windmill are almost in the same plane of reference and this gives the impression of the two objects are further away from us and looks like the two are cardboards pasted on a two dimensional flat background despite the fact that both aren't celestial; one is the result of our invention and the other is nature's creation but these two senses have been mixed into a single notion of being same impetus! The trail was about to pass the windmill wing carrying away the sense of moving the wings by itself, the comet, which notion is much gotten in the second image! Look at the pronounced lighted windows of the windmill in the second image and the comet has been given the sense of moved the wing of the windmill as if it were made the blade turned while the lighted mass passing by the blade of the windmill! The separation of planes of the comet and the windmill has nationally gave the required separation needed to catch both creations, one by us and the other by God, and it's been amazingly depicted in this frame in the middle! The anti-tail is very emphatic in this picture; the background sky is almost remains secondary to support the trail and the image but the idea has been somewhat taken away by the little bit more highlights in those areas in the other two pictures! The middle picture although being best but together the three images tell more powerful story, I think!
Wow! Loved the timelapse and your shots . Not an astro photographer either so you got the shots I loved! I did like the last one best with the mill facing us.
I like the last photo best, but love all 3, and the concept behind the whole shoot. Looking forward to watching the update video in your course! I was wondering about why you chose 27 images to stack. I never am sure how many to shoot to reduce noise, usually only shooting about a dozen
Lovely work Mads and the timelapse was beautiful too. Been thinking what Alyn would have made of the last few weeks of heightened astronomical activity. I think the other part of the comet is referred to as the anti tail. The anti-tail reveals the comet's past path, or where it has already traveled through space. I liked the middle image as I think the tail and the anti tail was very prevalent in that image
I've given up trying to photograph it from Devon in the UK. Every night since 12th October has been clouded out, so it's nice to see images from others online at least.
Nice work Mads, I tried here on the east coast of the UK & only had one day of non-cloudy conditions - by then the comet was much further away & as such less impressive. I understand your point re the windmill sails, however, on this occasion I think the middle image at the end of the vlog is my favourite. I don't think you lose any impact from the windmill being taken from 'behind'.
Happy you photographed the comet! Beautiful photos. As always. Liked the photo in the middle best but they were all excellent! Tried to see the comet but didn’t succeed, had only one evening where the skies were clear the other nights were cloudy. Well, well, I will just have to wait for the next opportunity 🤪 (I know it’s a 80 000 days wait)
Tail indicates flying direction, if tail is split it is because of the sun winds. Front tail is called Anti-tail. This is gravity of the sun catching tail particles in a half circle around the sun. But due to the flight direction this half circle make it look like a front tail
Nice work. Really good. Personally, I prefer the photo with the windmill facing me but that's another tail? Seriously though, as a visual, that's the one that "fits" the scene best. I look forward to seeing the making of the photos..☄☄🌠🌠
Super as always! It's cloudy around here (Milan, Italy) so it's gonna be tough to snap it! How did you stack the 49 images? Is it just Photoshop, align layers and then blend together as a smart object? Thanks!
To me the last one with the front-facing mill is better. Even apart from the mill i like the slightly more "active" horizon and having a bit more foreground. The windmill from the back is still cute but a bit less strong in my opinion. Losing the lower left wing leaves it a bit unbalanced toward the right.
Nice images! Not sure if mentioned anywhere, but what's the Bortle at your location? I've been out several times in Sweden this week and I just can't find the comet. It appears right around sunset, right above the sun, but whenever I look in its general direction there's just lingering sunligth washing out the sky, and it's even worse with longer exposures. :) Also what time did you go out?
Have you tried the Plan It Pro app Mads? Blew me away what you can do to prepare for shots like these with celestial elements and landscapes. Awesome photos.
Thanks a lot. I am very happy with how they turned out despite the bright moon. I tried that app a few years back, but have generally stuck to Photopills. I'll have a look at Plan It Pro! Thanks :)
@@MadsPeterIversen it's the "VR" preview that was so cool to me. Can line up your shot with terrain, though I don't think they have windmill models included :)
@@AadidevSooknananNXS thanks! No, not specifically for Lightroom, but if you use Lightroom it's very simple to follow along as Lightroom is built on CameraRaw. Lightroom just has catalogues :)

I love that 85mm shot 😍 It's just stunning!!!) Thank for the video, Mads!)
Wow! The best I've seen this year, especially the timelapse images. Your image 3 is my favorite.
Beautiful 👍

@@williampetersen2899 so awesome to hear, happy that you feel you benefit from everything I share! 🤓
The last one is, for me, the better one. Thanks a lot for the amzing video !
Wow! Nice job.

Last one, amazing, thank you for the inspiration
I really can't pick one over the other two, they are all really nice. Have been curious about the 50-400, looks good. Enjoyed the video, Thanks.
Amazing photography and great photographs too , wishes from India 🇮🇳
Looks like an interesting evening Mads.
From the 3 images I prefer no 1 first followed by no 3. 🍻
This year has been amazing for astro photographer. What a treat! Even if technically, the fact that we have so many northern lights is not a good sign.

Hi Mads, I like the third photo the most. Asthonishing video, you made, making me withness of this phenomenon. Thanks. Bert.

Excellent results - I especially enjoyed the time lapse
Beautiful!

I like the 3rd photo the best . the windmill blades facing the camera is more pleasing, the blades are sharpest, and one blade directly at the head of the comment
I very much like the one you posted in the middle.
Image 1 for me! although if I had come away with any of the three I'd have been happy! I got nothing but cloud
Thanks for continuing to add content to the course!
3rd one for me with the windmill turned to the front.
All 3 photographs are amazing!!
85mm for me. Cleaner image, sky is a darker blue and you've brought out the anti-tail more. Plus the direction of the mill works better. Bravo Mads!
Gorgeous, Mads! Kudos👍🏼
Excellent, as always.
Great images and video! For me, the third one looks the best. Mostly because the shot is slightly wider.
Just beautiful. The second is my preference but all three are excellent.
Stunning!
I like them all, beautiful
Loved the photos you shared! Amazing! Good information too from your video. I favor the middle one .
Mads, you say that you are not an Astrophotographer, but you are making a more than half decent attempt at it!😅 Another brilliant and instructional video, personally I would be proud of any of the images!😀
Great shots as usual👏👏... i like the last photo with the windmill facing you 👍👍 you can also see the rare anti tail at the front in your photo's
Beautiful. Too much light pollution in my area so am hoping it will still be visible next week in Slovenia.

The middle one 11:33. The mill looking to the direction of the comet seems better FOR ME.
Rigtig flot resultat, jeg er Fan ❤
Nice
Middle, better sky

At least Hale Bopp ought to be back before that, in 2399 years... xD
Mads Awesome Timelapse ! And getting the mill arms to line up with the comet 👨🍳😘
Thanks a lot, Art! :D
Nice shot you got there Mads. I wish Alyn is still with us today to see it.
Thanks a lot, yeah, I wish so too. He would have been so excited for all of the stuff going on in the night skies!
@@MadsPeterIversen Yeah. I still think of him whenever I'm out in the dark sky.
I prefer the left of the 3 images. I can’t put my finger on why, but I think I prefer the separation between the comet and the mill.
100% the left photo
All 3 are nice but I prefer the 3rd one.
Tail indicates flying direction, if tail is split it is because of the sun winds.
Front tail is called Anti-tail.
This is gravity of the sun catching tail particles in a half circle around the sun. But due to the flight direction this half circle make it look like a front tail
Aaaah, very nice! Thanks for that explanation! :D
I like 2 the best. The comet looks the best. It would be nice if the mill was in the front but the comet makes up for it.
Facing!

I would very much like to see how you HB X2D perform for this same composition with its 100mpx sensor. Can you do that please if time permits?

Thanks a lot! I am still debating with myself, but do think I prefer the front version ;)
I love these videos, do you have a course on Lightroom (or are ever planning on making one?)

last photo prefer ++
Is it still visible?
This video should be released earlier instead of now, which is almost invisible.
