 La Cascata di Fondo and Orion The Hunter

   February 16, 2022

    Orion and waterfall in Valchiusella

   Photographer:  Emanuele Balboni

   Summary Author:  Emanuele Balboni

   This beautiful long-exposure photo features the starry night sky and a
   roughly 30-foot (10 meter) waterfall located near Valchiusella, Italy.
   The waterfall is locally called “ La Cascata di Fondo” or “the
   waterfall of Fondo”, named after the nearby  hamlet. The sky was
   exceptionally clear on the night of November 28, 2021, which allowed
   the  Orion constellation to be clearly visible. Orion is known as
   the hunter in  Greek mythology and the constellation is most visible
   from November to February each year. In the photo,  Orion’s Belt and
   sword appears to be approaching the waterfall, which could be due to
   him being tired from the path made along the sky and wanting to immerse
   himself in the waterfall to relieve his tired feet. This photo was
   taken as a single exposure shot and was illuminated by the
    moonlight and a bit of headlamp to lit up the shadows on the left.

   Photo details: Canon 6D IR modified, Samyang 24 mm f/1.4, ISO-3200, 15
   second exposure, Diffusion filter
