Looking south to Wollongong from Garie Cliffs in Royal National Park. Royal lies sandwiched between Wollongong and Sydney. Because of the light from both cities this shot of the Milky Way has but a fraction of the actual stars visible and less than 1% of this would be visible within the cities. / Makes for a pretty picture but where does wonder go when the light blocks out the stars? The night sky is the only time we ever get to see the infinite. What happens to us when we lose that? / Tv 30s / Av f3.5 / ISO 3200 / FL 10mm

Worth going to Larger for this one – heaps more stars. Storm off Bundeena Cliffs, Royal National Park. This shot has all my favourite elements in one image – the moon, stars, lightning, storm clouds, and ocean. What a treat this night was – getting some fantastic storms here. This is about the sixth I’ve photographed. There are two lightning cells here – the white one under the moon and the orange one off to the right of the main cloudbank. This is one shot in a continuous sequence of 100 I shot to create a startrails version. Unfortunately my computer is choking on processing that many 50mb files at once so may be delayed in posting the startrails version. Shot with the Big Scary Monster: Canon 1Ds MkIII – 16-35mm f/2.8 LII USM lens / Tv: 30secs / Av: f/3.5 / ISO: 200 / FL: 17mm
This is a photoblend of 91 X 30 second exposures using the brilliant Startrails photoblend action that you can download from here / This is the 45 minute storm in one shot – in other words it’s the opposite end of the spectrum from the timelapse version I recently posted here / Trippy huh! / The large white streak in the sky is the moontrail, the little ones are startrails. The long lines sweeping across the sky are planes taking off and landing and the ones on the water are fishing trawlers. / A couple of curious things in this image. The first is the clear section of cloud above the main lightning strikes versus the blurred cloud around them. I think this is the result of these clouds being flashlit by each of the 20 odd lightning strikes whereas the other clouds were lit evenly by the moon in each image and hence blurred in the blend (hope that makes sense). / The other weird thing is that strange green line just above the middle planetrail near the centre of the image. It isn’t parallel to the startrails so isn’t one of them and satellites move so fast that one of those would have shown up as a long streak like the planetrails – any ideas?

Definitely worth clicking on the photo to see it large. Part of the Raging Stillness series this is a blend of 10 X 30 second exposures taken as part of a series of 110 sequential images during a particularly lovely night storm we had a little while ago. You’re looking at 5minutes of the storm at its height. The lines above the storm are startrails and the reflection in the water is from the full moon (out of shot). / Taken off Bundeena Cliffs, Royal National Park, just south of Sydney Australia. / This is a tiny section from the original photograph – being able to blow up such a small part of the image to A3 is where the 1Ds and the L series Canon lenses come into their own. / Canon 1Ds MkIII – 16-35mm f/2.8 LII USM lens / Tv: 30secs / Av: f/3.2 / ISO: 200 / FL: 27mm Oh wow how cool – Rob Mullner nominated Raging Stillness for the briliant Pay it Forward Group with this comment: “Having tried my darndest to get lightning shots with mixed results and success, I know how hard it is to nail it perfectly…This shot really highlights the awesome power of storms, technically perfect and a difficult element of nature to photograph – so hats off to your Geoff for this and these series of shots, and your work in general….Rob. Thanks heaps Rob.

/ “Moondance”is in the Landscape collection...it is a new painting based on a winter scene I had posted earlier… Watercolour on Arches Paper… Many features…challenge win… 1068 Views Well, its a marvelous night for a moondance / With the stars up above in your eyes / A fantabulous night to make romance / ‘neath the cover of October skies / And all the leaves on the trees are falling / To the sound of the breezes that blow / And I’m trying to please to the calling / Of your heart-strings that play soft and low / And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush / And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush Michael Buble Music / / Well, I wanna make love to you tonight / I can’t wait ‘til the morning has come / And I know that the time is just right / And straight into my arms you will run / And when you come my heart will be waiting / To make sure that you’re never alone / There and then all my dreams will come true, dear / There and then I will make you my own / And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside / And I know how much you want me that you can’t hide. ..Van Morrison
Blue Man misses home.
Taken at Wattamolla Lagoon in Royal National Park just south of Sydney looking north-east. The yellow glow is from the city lights. The sky looked like it was on fire with silver and gold licks of flame. And the moon halo just accentuated the mythic feel to this night sky scape. All gone in a few moments. The clouds were moving fast so I had to shoot at ISO 1600 to get a fast enough shutterspeed to minimise the blur. This is one of my early night moon shots taken with the Canon 30D that I stumbled on looking for something else.

Painting by Dorina Costras / Acrylic on canvas / 54/58 cm / Original for sale __________ “The leaves grown dark / By the autumn wind fall / Cover the ground, / Cover your body, / The wrapping of your being / That hides your true ego. / The warm dew of your eyes flows, / Nothing is there to wait for her, / It gets lost in the void, / Nothing needs their torpor. / Glitter in the sun / That passes through your body / And immerses it in candid dazzle, / The night is coming, the Orient is dancing, / Whirling in his veils, voluptuous dance / Wraps the world. / .And the wood that contains you, / Oh my goddess. And all is mystery, / Possible enigma, incomprehensible fear.” Gothica – The Pure Nymph lyrics
