The solar panels sleep for the night under the comfort of the cosmos, waiting for the dawn of a new day to help power our world.

Good one! Had a Carl Sagan feel to it.

Beautiful!

I'd love to know how you created this picture. Multiple photos and photo stacking? Or, just an incredibly still night and long exposure?

Thanks so much ?

It's just one photo, but I've been using the lack of flying time / lock down to experiment with Luminar 4 that I recently bought. It's a picture of a local solar array near my home, taken at sunset last Summer and turned into nigh with Luminar 4 and a bit of creative shading. I've attached a before and after screenshot from Luminar

I currently do all my editing on my phone (Powerdirector) but a decent laptop is on my list. At that point Luminar 4 is what I'll use.

Highly recommended mate. Great price and really powerful. The creative / AI elements divide people (especially paranoid pro photographers!), but I really enjoy experimenting with it. It's no different to compositing in Photoshop, just MUCH faster.

You can drop your own skies / augmented sky objects in there too, as the bundled ones become old quite quickly. There's endless night sky / planet images available online (Unsplash, NASA to name a couple), so the possibilities are pretty endless.

Currently, the software is a bit of a memory hog, so needs a decent system to run to it's full potential, but Skylum are promising updates to fix this. I've been using their drone specific Air Magic software for over a year now and love it, but I think it's been all but abandoned, so Luminar 4 will likely take it's place in my editing workflow as I really enjoy using it.
