Critique raised the question of why pinhole, why glass plate, why long exposure? All valid questions. Knocked up a GFX version of a test subject. 8mins with 24mm TS-E and lots of ND

A black-and-white long-exposure photograph captures a serene landscape with a grassy field in the foreground, sloping slightly upward toward a dense treeline across the center horizon. The trees feature rich, textured foliage. Above the woodland, dramatic rays of light radiate outward and upward across the sky, creating a striking fan-like pattern of alternating light and shadow streaks. The smooth blur in the sky contrasts with the sharp detail of the grass and leaves, giving the scene an ethereal, dramatic mood highlighted by deep grayscale contrast and fine atmospheric texture.

#TBT to this from 2012 in honour of Michael Gove starring as an invasion-battling leader in Sky's new show The Wargame. If you don't know what or who this comic is about... just count yourself lucky and scroll on, no worries.

[Opening scene is WESTMINSTER, LONDON. Over Downing Street a huge ALIEN SPACECRAFT hovers, silent, still, filling the whole sky a la Independence Day]. [Cut to INSIDE 10 DOWNING STREET. The (then) prime Minister DAVID CAMERON is looking out of his office window at the ship.] VOICE FROM OFF-SCENE, BEHIND CAMERON: Prime Minister… CAMERON [addressing the person behind him, still keeping his eyes fixed ahead in dread at the spaceship]: Yes? [We see the speaker is MICHAEL GOVE, then Education Secretary]: GOVE: Let me do it. CAMERON: For God's sake, Michael, you're the Education Secretary! You've never flown a fighter plane in your life! GOVE: But I know I could do it, David. I could fly a fighter plane into the big space- ship... ...and shoot all the aliens. CAMERON: But you have no military training! GOVE: David I haven't told you this, but... I used to be a journalist. For The Times. [Cameron reacts, turning to look at Gove with awe and respect, as if only now truly seeing him for the first time]. GOVE: I wrote two articles about planes, David. I've got strong opinions about aliens. I know I can do this job. [Cut to a title card panel]: AND SO: [Then cut again to Cameron on the roof of Number 10, watching a Michael Gove pilot a fighter jet up towards the spacecraft, and then completely miss it, careering towards Earth, as Cameron buries his face in his hands]. [Ends]
