On October 15, 2024, James Engel captured a breathtaking moment at Comanche Lookout in San Antonio, Texas. With a Nikon D850 and an 85mm lens, this image frames the ethereal presence of Comet A3 against the night sky, as tree branches gently cradle the celestial visitor near the bottom center of the composition. Shot with a shutter speed of 2.5 seconds, an aperture of ƒ/4.5, and ISO 2000, this photograph reveals the delicate glow of the comet in perfect harmony with the landscape. The interplay between the Earth and sky reflects the timeless dance of the cosmos—where fleeting moments of wonder are set against the stillness of nature. The comet’s soft light, fleeting yet profound, invites us to contemplate our place in the universe, where time moves slowly, but beauty strikes in a single glance. 🌠✨ #Astrophotography #CometA3 #ComancheLookout #EngelPhotography #CelestialWonders |
