I'd be interested in seeing some of your night time / time lapse photos and experiments.
Here's a some I took at the last Blue Moon. Mostly 30 sec exposure, 18mm focal length, ISO-100, f/6.3
Me in front of the moon shining across Bass Strait.
Moonlight on rocks, Turner's Beach, NW Tas.

These are really good.
I love to see the stars in the sky...not just the big one during the day. |

Thanks Daniel. Tassie is a great place for seeing the stars at night! The moon overwhelms them a bit on nights like that one, but at least it's the only thing to overwhelm them. Normally you can see the Milky Way clear as anything, unlike in Sydney.
I recall Dug posted some interesting time lapses of waves somewhere but couldn't find them. Maybe he will turn up and point us to them or repost them here. |

When I was in my late twenties I bought my first house.
It was in the Southern Highlands region about 160 klms south of Sydney.
I remember my first clear night there, it was a new moon and when I looked up at the night sky I thought to myself, this can't be right!
There were zillions of stars. It was amazing.
I enjoy astronomy and when I sell enough paintings this year I want to buy myself (or make myself) a large Dobsonian telescope and head back out there on a clear moonless night to see what I can see. |

Love the rocks in 2 and the cross in 3
Moonlight gives a very soft and ethereal look
Did you see my attempts ?

Thanks. No I didn't see those ones, they are great, especially the first one. But didn't you do some time lapse of waves in the moonlight somewhen aways back? Or am I thinking of someone else? I think it was along with your dead bird ones? |

Ooooh, look at all those lovely smooth rocks,  I don't have any around here, have to buy mine, but guess your not aloud to take them anyway.
Lovely photo's.
Thats what we used to do before there was TV & aircon, used to sit outside in the dark on hot summer nights (the house was like an oven) & watch the stars, see how many shooting stars we could see, & watch for the odd plane going over, & kept our feet tucked up on the chairs so as not to inadvertantly tread on a snake, nothing more scary than feeling a snake slithering over your foot in the dark.  |

Thanks Pearl. The rocks all along that coast are amazing. Millions of them, all different sizes and types (sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic) and all smoothed and polished by the sea. There are shales outcrops with veins of quartz running through them, mica that is really shiny, black basalt, amazing conglomerates, rose quartz that looks like streaky bacon, etc. I'll post some photos of them when I get round to it. |

Launceston Seaport on the Tamar river, last Friday night. About 9pm. Most photos taken at F15 with exposure of about 30 seconds.

Arm Twister.
These are a few trawlers tied up at Lakes Entrance.
I didn't have a tripod with me so I rested the camera on the top railing of a fence.
And one I took when I was about 26.

I forgot to take my big tripod for mine too - all I had was a table tripod which I put on the rail. Unfortunately every time someone walked past the boardwalk bounced up and down, so I had to time it between strollers. |
