Astrophotography

Tasmania is one of the best places in the world for Astrophotography due to our southern location and lack of light polution.

Looking up into the sky on a clear winters night and gazing upon the Milky Way is an experience that never ceases to take my breath away. My brain reels with the expanse and size of it all not to mention the unaswered questions about life and our place on this small planet amongst all those stars.

Of all the types of ‘Astro’ my favourite is Star Trails. Capturing these images is one of the hardest I’ve ever tried and more have failed than been successful. So much planning, preparation and technique goes into creating them and then the ardulous task of editing usually means around 20 hrs goes into each image.
