Happy Friday!!!⠀
Composite image of a bio luminescent wave crashing on the shores of Nelsons Beach in Jervis Bay and a close-up of the Milky Way core. Both photo's were taken on the same night however the core had risen much higher by the time I managed to capture this wave crashing. ⠀
The sky is 25 photo's stacked for noise reduction and the foreground is a single image.⠀
The blue glow(Bio-Luminescense) is created by a type of phytoplankton called Noctiluca Scintillans or Sea Sparkle, it is common to Jervis Bay, Australia and can be seen several times a year.
Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. It is a form of chemiluminescence. Bioluminescence occurs widely in marine vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as in some fungi, microorganisms including some bioluminescent bacteria and terrestrial invertebrates such as fireflies. In some animals, the light is bacteriogenic, produced by symbiotic organisms such as Vibrio bacteria; in others, it is autogenic, produced by the animals themselves.

The blue glow is created by a type of phytoplankton called Noctiluca Scintillans or Sea Sparkle. They're quite common where I live in Australia.

Twenty five photographs stacked sounds like so much work. The results speak for themselves though as it is amazing and beautiful and you are a master at work showing your skills.

Wow. That is some super nice work. The sky are too bright around here to get either the milky way or the plankton glow. Is this taken in Australia or Ne Zealand?

Incredible stuff from the steemit photography section. If not for the detailing about what it is, how it is captured and for if not for @curie who has selected it as the exception blog I would never realize the importance of this snap.
To be honest I have to google for to know what exactly is bio -luminescent wave One of the best part of steemit, that learning of new stuff) and now I know why this photo is important..I am quoting it here the definition from Wikipedia
May be it would be useful for those who never heard about it like me
You could add little brief like this next time when you post such rare snaps.
Thanks, the photo looks great and your effort in stacking of 25 snaps to make it more effective is really appreciable.
Cheers, Keep steemimg.

Really impressive. Very creative composite. One that can cause quite an impression on any wall.
Fascinating information about Bio-Luminescense, not the kind of natural spectacle one can see every day. What a priviledge to have it as a common occurence in that area.
