After weeks and weeks of being clouded in when I got up at 1 am there was no clouds about. A view of Mindarie beach looking towards the South and Fremantle Glow. this is less than 5 min from home even a peak time. this is a full 360 degrees or 13 shots to get the whole way around. It was so hot I was sweating in shorts and singlet, Lightening inland and way out to sea. The shot was taken with a Haida 77mm clear night filter on my 16-35mm f4 lens as my first try with a Clear night filter to kill the light pollution. the filter was mainly bought for my deep space shots but was worth a go. While the light glow has been cut back the Milky way Bow in the shot is still effected by the whole light plume from the City Starts over the city and finished at the walk way to the beach. This was taken well within the City limits of the Northern end of Perth. this will be part of my normal night shooting but I have had to get a 150x 150 mm for the 14mm lens and modify a holder to take the filter.

Getting up early the benefit the beach has not on foot print all washed away with the high tide

Rocky out crops of very sharp limestone

Before Jupiter set below the horizon. Enjoy what winter brings and our dark Skies.

A panorama of my parents i always wanted to do but could never, i always wanted to get the three shots together as they danced across the decking . For all its faults this is 4 hours and 6 goes. Enjoy the benefit of PTGui, the hidden strains of Engelbert Humperdinck from the Ipod, over 60 years of marriage and a very wet day.

By way of a lesson the difference between a plane and a Satellite passing over. this plane is leaving you can see the red and green on the wings. on coming plane is white bright light. open large to see better. If the PIP works you will see a plane coming toward you.

High and dry but created by water.

The night started light cloud but waiting you get the clearest night . To the Left Maunganui Bluff to Right Pouto a full 360 degrees of view as the tide was coming in. Enjoy a black night in a new land.

Baylys Beach town ship i walked down to the small River could not pass this opportunity up. Milky way is above the township Summer Milky Way.

This is a shot for those who wish to learn My first even night panorama 3 horizontals, Moon in the middle of frame lens flare and lens vignetting , The 500 rule is not quite correct shots at 34 seconds each but i am at 20 sec these days. I have never thought to go back and look at this set of shot PTGui handled it perfectly nothing else could. milky way is in shot 1 , Magellanic Cloud to the very right of shot Bright source at the right end is Tauranga. Enjoy a place i will never get back to Beach house is sold.

Some Time you just dont need colour.
