Nishakanth Yogarajah, The Milkyway Creator (CREATIVE 2025)

This creative idea and shot came into mind when we went for a milky way chase, where there's no particular foreground to capture while the core was already up. With the idea in mind, initiated a steel wool spin with the help of a friend which points towards the milky way core to show that its generated from the fire - so called the capture ''The Milkyway Creator' Foreground of the spin captured separately while the stars captured in calm dark night with numerous attempts of failures, finally got these two perfectly aligned shots stitched together with the help of lightroom and photoshop.
