#Repost @nightscapades ・・・ 25 Sep 2018. Bioluminescence on Mars 😱 This whole scene looks very eerie, to me. The time was around 3:00 am, and Mars was very low in the southwestern sky. Its reflection was so bright! The bioluminescence in the water was also brilliant, and I wanted to line the two up so that the light from Mars would be reflected in one of the small pools of bio on the sandbar. 👏 There have been several photos that I’ve posted where I’ve mentioned my amazement that the light from a celestial object, so far away from us, is still strong enough to penetrate our atmosphere and then be reflected off some wet surface. Being able to pair that amazement with my excitement at photographing bioluminescence for the first time was worth all of the failed shots that it took to get this one. Failing is one of the many great things about digital photography, though. Learning from a failed photo is way cheaper and requires so much less time in the digital realm that it ever did in the film days. 📷 This photograph is a single-frame image that I shot with my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera, a Rokinon 24mm lens @ f/2.4, for a 15-second exposure @ ISO 6400. • • • • • @astro_photography_ @space @universe247 @photographerfocus #astro_photography_ #astronomy #astrophotography #darkskyshots #elitelongexposures #fantastic_universe #globalpixels #ig_astrophotography #ig_shutterworld #night_shooterz #nightimages #nightphotography #nightscape #nightscapeoz #nightscaper #nightshooters #stargazing #startalkradio #timelessuniverse #universe #universetoday #WeOwnTheNight_IG #night_excl #StargazingABC #super_longexpo #mars #bioluminescence @eurobodalla https://www.instagram.com/p/BoQMmMUB_5c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mijohf6oj1ey

09 Apr, 2018. A shining sea of stars 🚢 🌊 Way out to sea and just over the horizon a cargo ship moves down the coast, its lights seeming to answer the fluorescent spill from a street light near the photographer’s position. The endless thud of waves crashing over the rocks beats a slow rhythm to mark time for the stars of the Milky Way as they make their nightly crawl across the roof of the sky. 🌌 In my late childhood and early teen years, I spent lots of hours clambering over these rocks with my siblings, looking for shells, driftwood & unusual pebbles during holiday times. The location is Tuross Head, on the southeast coast of my state of New South Wales, Australia. My children, now in their twenties, have also enjoyed many holidays at this place of peace and relaxation. None of them nor my wife have ever joined me on an outing to see and photograph the wonders of the night sky, either here or anywhere else. They’re missing out on so much! 📷 This image is a single-frame photograph, captured with a Canon EOS 6D MkII camera, a Rokinon 24mm lens @ f/2.4, with a 13-second exposure @ ISO 6400. • • • • • @astro_photography_ @space @universe247 #astro_photography_ #astronomy #astrophotography #darkskyshots #elitelongexposures #fantastic_universe #globalpixels #ig_astrophotography #ig_shutterworld #night_shooterz #nightimages #nightphotography #nightscape #nightscapeoz #nightscaper #nightshooters #stargazing #startalkradio #timelessuniverse #universe #universetoday #WeOwnTheNight_IG #night_excl #StargazingABC #super_longexpo #milkyway #galaxy #WOTN_MilkyWay #MilkyWayChasers #MilkyWayGrams @eurobodalla (at Tuross Head, New South Wales)

Kind of obsessed with the Milkyway next to old bridges 😍 this was actually from last year. I've been looking through a lot of old photos lately!

Regrann from @nightscapades - 24 May 2018. Sky and sea 👌🏻🌌 I can think of few more majestic sights than seeing the Milky Way climbing elegantly, gracefully and purposefully over the surging sea. The saying goes that time and tide wait for no-one. The nightly passage of the stars overhead waits not, either. That is one reason I think I will not ever tire of looking up to see this free yet fabulous, simple yet sublime display of light and movement. The show goes on even if nobody is watching, but who wants to waste a show so special? 👍 This single-frame photograph was shot from under the cliffs of Black Head, in Gerroa, New South Wales, Australia. I used a Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera, a Samyang 14mm XP lens @ f/2.8, with an exposure time of 25 seconds @ ISO 6400. • • • • • @astro_photography_ @space @universe247 #astro_photography_ #astronomy #astrophotography #darkskyshots #elitelongexposures #fantastic_universe #globalpixels #ig_astrophotography #ig_shutterworld #night_shooterz #nightimages #nightphotography #nightscape #nightscapeoz #nightscaper #nightshooters #stargazing #startalkradio #timelessuniverse #universe #universetoday #WeOwnTheNight_IG #night_excl #StargazingABC #super_longexpo #milkyway #galaxy #WOTN_MilkyWay #MilkyWayChasers #MilkyWayGrams @abcopen @igersillawarra

#Repost @nightscapades ・・・ 28 Apr 2018. Massive! 😱 The Milky Way is big. Very big. In fact, it’s massive! To try to convey some of that vastness to you I chose a “standard” focal-length lens to take this photo of the Milky Way’s core rising over the Tasman Sea, on Australia’s east coast. Lots of nightscape photos are captured with wide-angle lenses, which have focal-lengths of 14mm, 24mm and the like. For something different, though, I like to shoot with longer lenses from time to time, especially when this is the result. 🌌 It’s a photo that, in all humility, made me say “wow” out loud when I looked at it on my camera’s preview screen. Seeing the number of stars that the camera captured light from, as well as the gigantic dust lanes and dark gas clouds that block out light from just as many stars again, it was hard not to be amazed at the sight of it seemingly rising from the ocean. Creation is full of innumerable wonders like this, and it’s a huge privilege to be able to photograph a few of them. 📷 This single-frame image was taken with a Canon EOS 6D camera, through a Canon 50mm STM lens @ f/2.8, using an 8-second exposure @ ISO 12800. Noise and star reduction were carried out using the Photoshop action-packs “EasyNR” and “MiniSTARS”, both available from @photographingspace • • • • • #astro_photography_ #astronomy #astrophotography #darkskyshots #elitelongexposures #fantastic_universe #globalpixels #ig_astrophotography #ig_shutterworld #night_shooterz #nightimages #nightphotography #nightscape #nightscapeoz #nightscaper #nightshooters #stargazing #startalkradio #timelessuniverse #universe #universetoday #WeOwnTheNight_IG #night_excl #StargazingABC #super_longexpo #milkyway #galaxy #WOTN_MilkyWay #MilkyWayChasers #MilkyWayGrams

26 Feb, 2018. Shhh! The antennas are sleeping 🤷🏼‍♂️ Yep, I’m stuck for something to post, once again. Too much cloud and too much moon means my diminishing archive of not-previously-posted photos are going to suffer some searching and scouring over the next couple of weeks. 🛰 🚀 Tonight’s image is from my visit to NASA’s Canberra Deep Space Communications Complex at Tidbinbilla, in the Australian Capital Territory. I was located about 3km (1.9mi) from the two antennas that I captured in the shot, using my 50-500mm zoom lens. The two dishes (DSS-45 & 35, I think) were in the “stowed” position for this photo. I guess even deep-space antennas need their beauty sleep! 📷 This photo was shot with a Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera, a Sigma 50-500mm lens @ 313mm focal length @ f/6.3, 10 sec @ ISO 400. @astro_photography_ @space @universe247 #astro_photography_ #astronomy #astrophotography #darkskyshots #elitelongexposures #fantastic_universe #globalpixels #ig_astrophotography #ig_shutterworld #night_shooterz #nightimages #nightphotography #nightscape #nightscapeoz #nightscaper #nightshooters #stargazing #startalkradio #timelessuniverse #universe #universetoday #WeOwnTheNight_IG #night_excl #StargazingABC #super_longexpo #nasa #canberra #tidbinbilla #satellite (at Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex)

07 May 2018. A fine, upstanding galaxy Australia 🇦🇺 🐄 🌌 I love creating these vertical panoramic images of the Milky Way standing tall over the Australian landscape. Sadly, Instagram has a limit on how tall images can be, so I have to frame them to fit using an app like Squaready. 🌌 This is a vertical panorama that was created from 25 overlapping images.

30 Apr 2018. Looking up from Down Under 😉 Here in Australia (and New Zealand and the countries of South America and Southern Africa, plus many islands in the South Pacific), we are are lucky to have the Milky Way’s central band and galactic core pass high in the sky during our autumn and winter months. These marvels being up high means there’s less atmosphere between them and the observer than when things are viewed lower down, resulting in sharper views through cameras and telescopes. Observing the night sky in the colder months of the year also means more stable atmospheric conditions, which add further to the quality of the seeing. 🌌 If you can find somewhere dark, safe and not wet with dew you can lay back and look up as this show takes place above. Pointing your camera straight up lets you photograph the scene, as I’ve done here. Poplar trees flanked the rural back-road that I was looking up from. After a bit of shuffling around, and several test shots, I came up with this composition that includes the trees and the Milky Way. To me, the trees seem to be reaching up like hands, in an almost worshipful manner, heralding the majesty and immensity of the universe and all it contains. What do you see? 📷 This photo is a single frame, shot with Canon EOS 6D Mark II, Samyang 14mm XP lens @ f/2.8, using a 20-second exposure @ ISO 6400. • • • • • @astro_photography_ @space @universe247 #astro_photography_ #astronomy #astrophotography #darkskyshots #elitelongexposures #fantastic_universe #globalpixels #ig_astrophotography #ig_shutterworld #night_shooterz #nightimages #nightphotography #nightscape #nightscapeoz #nightscaper #nightshooters #stargazing #startalkradio #timelessuniverse #universe #universetoday #WeOwnTheNight_IG #night_excl #StargazingABC #super_longexpo #milkyway #galaxy #WOTN_MilkyWay #MilkyWayChasers #MilkyWayGrams

29 Apr 2018. Moos that make milk, under the Milky Way. 🐄 OK, these four-legged farm animals aren't called “moos”, they’re cows, but try to go with it, please. The photo doesn’t convey the aroma that was in the air next to this field of cows, nor does it pass on to you the sounds that I was subject to as the cows did things to add to that aroma. Hopefully, though, it does bring you the serenity and peace that some, like me, find in rural settings like this one near Kiama, Australia. Whether it be during the day or at night; in clear skies or cloudy; and while walking, cycling or driving, places like this soothe my soul. That being said, give me a moonless night under a cloudless sky and you’ll find me one very contended person! 🌌 The bright, white “star” at the top-left corner of this photo isn’t a star at all, but the giant planet Jupiter. Down at the bottom of the scene, up and a little to the right of the pole in the centre, our solar system’s second-largest planet, Saturn, is also making its presence known. 📷 I shot this photo with a Canon EOS 6D Mark II camera, a Rokinon 24mm lens set to an aperture of f/2.4, for an exposure time of 13 seconds @ ISO 6400. • • • • • @astro_photography_ @space @universe247 #astro_photography_ #astronomy #astrophotography #darkskyshots #elitelongexposures #fantastic_universe #globalpixels #ig_astrophotography #ig_shutterworld #night_shooterz #nightimages #nightphotography #nightscape #nightscapeoz #nightscaper #nightshooters #stargazing #startalkradio #timelessuniverse #universe #universetoday #WeOwnTheNight_IG #night_excl #StargazingABC #super_longexpo #milkyway #galaxy #WOTN_MilkyWay #MilkyWayChasers #MilkyWayGrams (at Jamberoo, New South Wales)

23 Apr 2018. One broken, one dead 🤷🏼‍♂️ I can’t count the number of times that I’ve been driving and seen, out of the corner of an eye, something that’s grabbed hold of me and almost begged to be featured in a photograph. Back in 2003 when I visited Western Michigan in winter, I was continually noticing things to include in photos, in particular, a cemetery that was blanketed by snow. My friend Clare, who was hosting my visit, asked “why do you want to take photos of a cemetery? You have cemeteries back home in Australia, don’t ya?”. My reply to him was “yeah, but ours aren’t covered in snow”. 🌌 🌲 Glimpsing these two trees–one alive but broken, and the other long-dead–as I drove down this country road on Sunday night, I knew I had to turn back and include them in a photograph with the rising core of the Milky Way. It was only just in time, though, as the clouds that are fringing the top of the shot covered the whole eastern sky in mere minutes after I snapped off the last of five frames for the night. Out-of-shot and to the left there was a bright orange street light, marking the nearby rural junction that is often shrouded in fog at this time of year. It took a lot of work in Lightroom to remove that horrible yellow stain from the photo. 🌌 A single-frame photo, shot with Canon EOS 6D, Rokinon 24mm @ f/2.4, 13 sec @ ISO 6400. • • • • • @astro_photography_ @space @universe247 #astro_photography_ #astronomy #astrophotography #darkskyshots #elitelongexposures #fantastic_universe #globalpixels #ig_astrophotography #ig_shutterworld #night_shooterz #nightimages #nightphotography #nightscape #nightscapeoz #nightscaper #nightshooters #stargazing #startalkradio #timelessuniverse #universe #universetoday #WeOwnTheNight_IG #night_excl #StargazingABC #super_longexpo # (at Toolijooa)
