Description

I Made a wish. Since comet Ison disintegrated I waited for the day I could see a comet naked eye. I tried several times. Light pollution in Athens had a different opinion. I didn’t give up hope. My summer holidays was at a bortle 2 sky. It was the time that the comet made the transition from morning to evening skies. So, there it was, a star with a tail, the most exciting thing I have seen in my life. When I think of it, gives me goosebumps! So make your wish and never stop trying to fulfill it.

This shot had a lot of planning and a big help from my girlfriend. It was made with an old Jupiter 21M 200mm f4 from 1975 and my modded A7s. I had a custom white balance color profile inside my camera that I used which gave the purple tone for a dreamy like shot.
