Photographer Captures Meteors, Milky Way Galaxy, and Bioluminescence in One Photo
In this modern world of Photoshop and AI, it's easy to fake photos. But one photographer is keeping the philosophy of getting it right "in camera" alive and well.

A photographer captured bioluminescent rocks glowing off the coast of Oregon as star trails dazzle in the sky above.
The mysterious and elusive Milky Seas phenomenon has been captured on camera for the first time by a yacht sailing in the East Indian Ocean.
Did you know that your body is bioluminescent? That's right -- the human body actually emits visible light and can be photographed by an ultra-sensitive camera in complete darkness.
Photographer Ricardo Ghion recently reached out to share some truly stunning photos he captured that are both quite rare and incredibly difficult to capture: nightscapes of bioluminescence shining beneath the Milky Way.
Amateur photographer Santiago Olay has an interesting day job: he works as a deck officer on a 280m cargo ship. But when he's not busy with his duties, often late at night, he goes out on deck tries to photograph the Milky Way from the middle of the ocean.
Photographer Patrick Coyne was in Newport Beach, California, when he captured this stunning footage of dolphins swimming through bioluminescent waters and leaving glowing blue trails in their wake.
Sometimes the world blows you away. It was like that for us when we first started shooting sea fireflies on rock formations back in 2016. The visual power of these creature lighting up the shoreline was just stunning. It made us want to learn more about these creatures and think about innovative ways of shooting them.
There are certain natural phenomena that most photographers would love to capture. Aurora, eclipses, meteors, rainbows, eruptions, lightning and tornados all present challenges to the photographer, not least of which is (with the exception of eclipses) having a camera pointed the right way when they happen. Bioluminescent algae is no different in this regard. Like all the most incredible natural spectacles it is hard to predict and tricky to capture.
There are certain kinds of plankton that glow when they're disturbed by movement. Photographer Kris Williams recently went out to a shore in Wales and captured a set of photos and videos showing the beauty of this bioluminescent plankton.
Ultra-high sensitivity cameras like the 4 Million ISO Canon ME20F-SH are making it possible to record things never before possible, like these bioluminescent bamboo corals pulsating with light 1,245 feet below the surface of the ocean.
Photographer Eric Paré has built much of his career around the concept of light painting, but a recent photo shoot he did involved a very different source of lighting: the bioluminescence of glowing plankton.
Some photographs are so good it's hard to believe they're real, and that is definitely the case with Fefo Bouvier's photograph of the Milky Way hovering above a glowing strip of Noctiluca bioluminescence in the Atlantic Ocean.
