I wonder what it would be like to live on a planet near such a breathtaking nebula.

you wouldnt see much- it would be so spread out it would be hard to see

For example we live INSIDE a galaxy and yet only on a very clear night, far away from any city lights, can you see the milky way (our own galaxy)

I think these photos are time lapse and highly concentrated light.

I may be wrong- maybe those shine more brightly

I once saw a painting of a hypothetical world where a spiral galaxy rises above the horizon at night. The spiral filled the sky from side to side.

It would be amazing to see something like that. I also imagine it would have an incredible effect on any intelligent life on the planet.

You take it for granted generally ... like earthers do with their moon. Many songs like ... Harvest Galaxy and By the light of the Spiraling Arms have been written though.
