Leica’s #aurora photo bomb may just be the best picture I’ll ever take

@stroughtonsmith This is tremendous. Get this printed and framed.

@stroughtonsmith
That's bad-ass! If you don't get that framed and hung on your wall, what are you even doing with your life?

Stephanie Moore

@stroughtonsmith How did this happen? The dog looks superimposed. How hilarious!

Natsura :transfem_verify:

@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social That is probably the closest we will ever get to a photo of a live action Suicune XD

@stroughtonsmith I think this mount costs $29.99 in World of Warcraft

J. "Henry" Waugh

@stroughtonsmith I was going to guess exposure time, but I don't see any trailing movement blur

Non-photography nerd very curious to know how you got this!

EDIT: my guess was correct, but the length of time was not what I expected

Steve Troughton-Smith

@jhwgh1968 30sec exposure, she ran into the shot and stopped right in the middle of it

@stroughtonsmith

That is an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime, shot! Bloody brilliant! 👏 👏 👏

And the LORD DOG said, “let there be treats.”

Perfect! Looks as if Leica is lighting up the sky in the left section with her "cape". Powerful dog from another dimension.

@stroughtonsmith That is one in a million! Holy crap! Good job.

Colin Dean

@stroughtonsmith this looks like a sick chillwave or indie dreamcore album cover

Jan Schiefer

@stroughtonsmith I think you named this dog very appropriately, and she delivered!

Dgar

@stroughtonsmith This could win some photo competitions!

Since this went pretty wide, here’s some more Leica for good measure, including tiny baby era

@stroughtonsmith You probably should
check out the TV show „The Dog House“ if you’re not already aware of it.

@stroughtonsmith Knew it that if the truth was hidden in plain sight, just reading DOG right to left

@stroughtonsmith This is a job for Phantom Dog!

Yohannon

@stroughtonsmith DUDE. I love when that happens… when you think the shot went south. But you come across it later… and you realize you nailed it in a way you couldn’t have planned. 👏

Editing to add: okay I got this on the big screen to get a better look and was stunned at the small details that make this shot even more surreally beautiful, like Krypto the Superdog meets a goth Maxfield Parrish. To echo other comments, this be print worthy and “Suitable for Framing“. 🖼️

@stroughtonsmith please don't tell me that's Sirius in the dog. Serious dog anyways :) Amazing shot!

Andrew Zonenberg

@stroughtonsmith Your dog is named Leica?

Does he have a brother named Nikon or Zeiss?

Plumy

@stroughtonsmith Super hero dog with a magic cape ! :amaze:

@stroughtonsmith This strangely reminded me of a recent dream I had, where all the constellations in the sky suddenly were over-detailed and contained lots more stars.
