Steve Paxton's photos

This plant started as a trunk the size of my arm now it the size of my legs. it grew to small for the pot in the PIP. i can just lift the tree cannot lift the pot and the tree. pot is 900mm x 350mm plant is close to a meter. all the leaves have been removed to encourage secondary branching. getting close to 30 years old.

Bali Sunrise After putting the camera outside for an hour you could go take photos without the whole thing fogging up after being inside air conditioned room all night long.

Grown on rock for the last 13 years . to help the rock sit flat its sitting on a hose halo the light blue underneath. I did not go close so you get the idea of scale 300mm high on the rock. just inside our front door. PIP is close to 2 1/2 years ago

The Tall ship stopped on the way over to Sydney

The three stages of an eclipse that a camera can measure and take photos from 51 shots. 2 Moon rise shot 4 Normal moon starting to eclipse 4Change from bright moon to Eclipsed moon 5 Final stage the colour of the total Eclipse For those of a technical mind this is made up of 24 shots to get this one photo. Background is part of the Milky Way Bow to provide a realistic back ground. The Moons are the size of the shot from the 600mm lens. Enjoy. Eclipse January 31 st 2018 PIP is from Eclipse 28/7/2018 between clouds

Colourd by atmospherics

the eclipse had only just started to move away but note how bight the moon is even a very tiny slither of light. My fav of the night even though no colour to the moon. PIP same tree different angle , time of years full winter Milky Way and very different lens.

"The Lunatics on the Grass" Tom and Friend. the summer bow not a winter one so you only see a star ring on the right hand side and the colourfull core goes down. very windy night but over all quite pleased

The largest ship to grace Fremantle. this is a shot of the ship turning itself around ready to berth mid harbour. quite a sight in such a small area No tugs just the pilot and police on either side to keep small craft away from the turning circle.

Three photos the ship was so big.

The Welcome the Ovation of the Sea got as it came into the harbour.

An exploratory shot for Wednesday and the total Eclipse 4 shots stacked. ISO 800 F8 2 min and 10 sec each shot with 600mm lens on DX so 900mm View. you can pick the moon gets brighter in this 9 min shot of the night sky.
