These are so cool, does anyone know where one might be able to get a high resolution copy of these?
This is his site: https://www.tomrae.com/
But it seems he only sells prints, not high res digital copies.
They are realy cool. It is important to note that they are almost garanteed to be a composit i.e the sky is from a different photo than the mountains in the foreground, and probably Queenstown in the background is probably its own photo aswell.
Some people say thats cheating, others say its fine if they were all taken in the same place. Im not saying either way, i am more on the side of "as long as it was all taken from the same location im fine with layering" but i do know people who take the stance of "if you are layering then its already fake and i dont like it. Why not add a dragon and Mikey mouse for effect". You are never going to get the sky like the picture in the same shot as the mountains or even Queenstown because both are throwing off too much light to get an impresive starfield.
