South and North Hemispheres Together as ONE photo.

This is two shot put together In Photoshop One of my Milky way Bows South Top and a Bow by Helber Pontes from the North Bottom. this came about by a Question from Ko and my wife as well "so if its the same all the way around what does it all look like".

Kind of in the same phase so you get to see just what it just might look like if you could put it all together as a circle. I am not that good but at least we can see the two together.

Certainly gives me the understanding of the difference between the two.

this is great Steve. Super. In the area I live it is practically impossible to get such a nice northern bow

Steve Paxton ^club has replied to Ko Hummel ^club

Ko to do this right you would have to get a north & South shot same time same month to get a better more realistic view. these are from different months but the net result is it shows us a much more complete view of the Milky way than we normally see. I thank you and my wife for pushing me to try and see if I could do it.

Once again you excel yourself with such reality and experimental presentations. A lovely picture in its own right yet very informative with the differences between North and South. Of course Helber deserves credit too. Well done.

This was some thing I have always wanted to do but never had the Skills. Thanks to Pieter I have the skills So it was some thing that was very possible. Had it not be for Ko or Clara it would have gone on as some thing to do rather than do it. I would love to find two photos taken same month would give a better look at the Milky way.

Steve Paxton ^club has replied to Sami Serola (inactiv… ^club

Thank you Sami some thing I have wanted to do but did not know how. the little I have learnt in Ps allowed me to make the one shot of the two to get the effect. while I always knew they where different not till you see this do see it for sure.

In der Spiegelung sieht man mehr Sterne als am Himmel. Grandiose Aufnahme!

Steve Paxton ^club has replied to trester88 ^club

I hope you read this it is no reflection but two photos of the milky way one in the Southern and another Northern hemispheres combined to show the whole of the milky way, AS ONE or as best you can from photos. two camera two people two different locations on this earth.

wow, absolutely spectacular !

Thank you it gives you an idea the difference the two hemisphere face when taking a photo and comparing them.

Ecobird ^club

Oh this is amazing Steve, especially on full screen. Beautifully done, - it gives a wonderful effect, almost like a reflection at first glance.

5 years ago.

Steve Paxton ^club has replied to Ecobird ^club

It should look like a reflection but for the milky way both are very different. some thing I have always wanted to do but lacked the skills to bring the two photos together. some new learnt skills

I was able to put the two together too get the result. glad you think it was worth the effort.

Amazing Image Steve super full screen.
Regards TOZ.

Steve Paxton ^club has replied to TOZ ^club

The pictorial of the two halves together does make quite a view, most don't read just what it is and take it for a pure reflection when it is not. Some Ps learning made this possible love to be able to do both halves myself but this is the best way around that.

Best wishes ... Steve

Steve Paxton ^club has replied to Ste

Thank you Steve I did always know both hemispheres where just a little different to each other but never really knew how much till I did this.I had though of the idea of putting the shot vertical so there was none on top of the other but you loose the full screen view. Enjoy the World view.

Wonderful idea, and well glued together.

I am sorry I am missing the other 360 degrees of the ground but its the only way to get a photo these days we will have to depend on space for a real 360 view. thanks it did raise a smile {;o)

Hi Steve

I really like this picture!

I am so amazed that I am lost for words!

I have never even seen such a view, never mind photographed it.

Best Wishes, and a good weekend

Steve Paxton ^club has replied to Peter_Private_Box ^club

Remember I have only photographed half but the idea is all mine and the only way to show this anything like whole. you can be forgiven think is a all one photo but its far from it as they seem to fit together almost perfectly. I first needed to learn the skill to put them both together as one then the idea from the mind became a reality.

Many thanks for the original idea and half the photo.

Amazing! The milky way bow and its reflection in the water look great. The milky way bow and its reflection in the water look great. It must be unforgettable to see such a phenomenon.

Steve Paxton ^club has replied to Susanne Hoy

Susanne this is not a reflection but a North and South Milky way Bow Put together to show the full Milky way. this is two different photo put together to show the full Milky way. it certainly would be great to get that to show as well as this but it does not sadly.

best I have ever got.
