Cheers, R Thanks for that Took this one 20 Feb 2015,the next bay along. Its Cullercoats Bay. The building on the left is the Lifeboat Station.

big Neil Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 John, here's sunrise in south western NSW on 19th Feb and a few photos from later that morning. A Pacific Black duckling wanted the boat to be its Mum and a 53 cm Murray Cod...1 of 11 undersize ones caught that morning. I love the colours in the sunrise /sunsets too.

snatcher Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Three great pictures Neil As well as sunrise/sunset photography I enjoy the challenge of trying to photograph the stars,meteorites,lightening,Aurora Borealis. Here is an Aurora shot I took here in Whitley Bay Feb 2014. There has to be fairly strong sun flare activity in order to make the Aurora visible from my latitude.

big Neil Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Nice pic John. I wouldn't have thought you could see Borealis that far south. I have many of those interests, too. Have tried pics at night time but had little success so far. Incorrect equipment and insufficient knowledge being the main problems. Fairly flat where I live so horizon shots are always an option. Cheers, Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Neil. Have had a "dabble" at star photography but that is all. When I was over staying at Abbey Beach south of Perth I did photograph the Southern Cross and Orions Belt. Will wedge them on here now Southern Cross Orions Belt Orions Belt photographed from my home town Whitley Bay - I did not realise it was visible from both hemispheres !!!!

snatcher Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Had a go at photographing the Perseids meorites last year and discovered just how difficult it was !!!!! Took about 100 sequential 30' exposures and only managed 2 faint captures. Must try harder Think I might try a higher ISO next time John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to my fifth trip over this year. Looking at coming over early Oct (based at Frenchs Forest) for a 3 month trip Would be nice to catch my first jewie this time.

Paikea Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Looking forward to meeting and having a beer and perhaps a fish with you later in the year. Careful Steve, having a beer with John is never just one, I speak from experience! But hey, we will have to get him out when he comes out later this year, out to Browns, the Plonk Hole and the Peak weather permitting, love to see him on a big shark while you and I watch. Or a big black stingray, say one of those monsters that measure around 6 foot across, he loves catching "Skate". One of those would have him skating all across the deck. I know where there are quite a few of them. (South Coast) Onya John, looking forward to your visit and hopefully this year I will be able to host you to some memorable trips on my boat. Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
