Beautiful Sunrise at Avoca Beach – seascape photos, May 2011
I’m so humbled – this image won the Ken Duncan Photo Awards for 2012!

My name is Mike Salway and I’m an amateur astronomer and photographer.
I’m the co-founder of the Amateur Astronomy community site, IceInSpace, and my personal blog site and image gallery is at mikesalway.com.au
I love high resolution planetary imaging and deep-space imaging using a telescope, and I love capturing wide field vistas that involve a lovely foreground scene combined with astronomical interest in the sky.
