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.
