Like the title says that's what I thought it looked like that and it reminded me of Deep Purple although in that case, for those viewers not quite old enough to _remember_ ;) the lyrics are: Smoke on the Water, Fire in the Sky. Technical details - 5 exposure hdr render (+2ev +1ev 0ev -1ev -2ev) + high amounts of hand processing and a LOT of colour correction then further composed with a masked 30 second fisheye shot of the milky way (both taken last night) I was attempting to recreate what the eye actually saw, it was an amazingly clear moonless night and the stars were breathtaking! these shots were taken at 3am. I hope you like it. btw its the same waters as FREEZING POND IN SIELPIA just a different time of year and a slightly different angle ;)

Oh yes, this is a great night image, thousands of stars to be seen.
And yep, i do remember Deep Purple, it was my favorite back then.
Child in time, Smoke on the water and Speedking had to be my favorites.

Very nicely done. The effect is really amazing and all we need is a light mist and a stereo cranked up playing "Smoke on the Water" and "Hush".

Incredible capture and I love the way you can see the stars so clear. It reminds me of the years when we use to go to a lake and sit out at night by a fire looking across the lake seeing almost what you have in your picture. Excellent job and thanks for sharing, Don

It looks like a tough shot and the edits sound even tougher to me but this looks just right.

Ah yes, when the deep purple falls...oh no, that ones even older ;) This is truly incredible and looks amazing full screen. It also looks like a shower of stars in the heavens. What an amazing post and I'm so glad you shared this one today. Excellent. Anita

hey i wonder if "some stupid with a flare gun...burned the place to the ground.."
wow, this has to be opened up to be appreciated. those stars are worth the price of admission alone ( nice pun, huh?) great capture, my friend.

It seems like many of us remember that song :) This is a brilliant capture. The sky is exquisite, like black velvet scattered with gorgeous twinkling diamonds. Amazing view of the water, which is so clear and mirrors the light beautifully. The background is outstanding with the various shades of green, as is the water. And thanks Jeremi, for your narrative - I enjoyed hearing all that information. A visually appealing image 8*)
