Nebula

Photographer Eric Africa obtained this image of the Garnet Star Nebula (IC 1396) by spending several nights in his “light-polluted backyard.” Africa’s images of IC 1396, the Rosette Nebula and M 31 are proof that an Earthbound photographer can score some amazing pics. His telescope, the Takahashi FSQ-106, is commercially available for around $4,000. Click through for a gallery.

Paris Changing

Photographer Christopher Rauschenberg rephotographed the Paris images Eugène Atget around 100 years later for his book Paris Changing. I am a bit biased about this project having published New York Changing in 2005.

Read an interview with Rauschenberg in The Morning News here. Or see more paired images and read more at Lens Culture.
