Taken looking south to Wollongong from Providential Point, Royal National Park, just south of Sydney Australia. / This is my first attempt at a multi-exposure blend. This image is a combinations of 57 X 30sec exposures using the fantastic Startrails Photoshop Action that you can download free from this excellent site: / www.schursastrophotography.com/software/photoshop/startra… I was put on to this action by Dave Burrow whose amazing startrails image can be seen here: / http://www.redbubble.com/people/davidburrows/art/321722-3-startrails The brilliant thing about this PS action is that the longest exposure you need to take is 30sec and so it virtually eliminates the noise problem of conventional long exposure startrails. You can imagine how much noise this shot would have as a 30min exposure. / The straight lines are some of 9 planes that flew through these exposures over the half-hour I was taking them – amazingly consistent flight paths. It got so busy I had to delete some of the planetrails, hence the little gaps in the startrails.

A nice walk along the quayside in Newcastle on a fresh sunny february morning….better than watching the telly..
Seastorm off Bundeena Cliffs in Royal National Park just south of Sydney Australia. Taken using the brilliant Startrails Photoshop Action to blend 15 X 30sec identical exposures. You can download the Action from here: / http://www.schursastrophotography.com/software/photoshop/startrails.html If you view in Large mode you can see startrails between the clouds. Also the short horizontal light along the horizon is a fishing trawler. Funnily enough there was an average of only one lightning bolt per exposure. / I’ve now photographed 5 storms off these cliffs and the really curious thing I’ve noticed is that the lightning always seems to concentrate in the same places – here and about another 45 degrees to the right along the horizon. I know now that if I set my camera up here or at the other angle I’m always going to get the best lightning shots – weird or what? I would have thought the lightning strikes would be much more random than that.

Shot: Nikon D40X / Format: Raw / Time: 1.29pm / Exposure: 10.000 seconds / F No: 9.0 / Focal Length: 26.0mm / Tripod Used / Uv Filter Used Leura Cascade Falls is in Sydney Australia The Blue Mountains. This is a great walk to go and do! It’s not to hard and you see beautiful things the whole way! How to get there… Commencing from the Leura Cascades Picnic Area make your way to the information board from which you will observe a concrete pathway descending to the left. Follow the pathway as it travels beside the bubbling Leura Cascades creek. You will approach a small footbridge, at this there will be an intersection, you will note a weathered signpost indicating the direction of Leura Cascades, from this point head downhill to the Cascades. As you descend the fern covered stairs (handrails for support) to the Cascades you will hear the sounds of rushing water as the creek picks up speed. At the bottom, the Cascades are best viewed from beneath a rock cave looking back up the Cascades. A brief sidetrack can be made from the Cascades by following the path for a short distance to a lookout directly above the Bridal Veil Falls. Return to the picnic area via the same pathway.

Scabious is much too ugly a name for this delightful bloom (scabiosa) otherwise know as the pincushion flower. It’s a wonderfully long flowering perennial and older varieties have a gorgeous delicate fragrance. This particular plant is (even) older than me (! ? !) and has been carefully tended by my dad for decades as it came (via a removal van) from the house I was born in. Captured during a recent shower Its lovely scent is a great reminder of summers past. . . :))) Greenery is from a nearby heather and this was taken in the same rain as summer shower so it was well worth getting slightly damp! ;))

Haven’t been shooting lately thought I’d get back to it…Never tried this before, so I thought I’d give it a shot. Nikon D60 18-55VR.
There’s something very soothing and calming about these water drop/condensation shots for me. Maybe it’s the perfect symmetry of the drops or the way they look like falling rain that’s frozen in time… either way they just make my stressfulness melt away. Anyway, this is condensation on a water bottle… I shot this using my macro lens and extension tubes as well as my flash. I don’t think I had a background on this one.. just the white screen of my computer. Enjoy!

This is a Digital Painting done with some vector drawing. / This painting was taken from Amanda Cotton’s photograph “Into the Mix”. however, there is NO photograph used in the art it self, it started off a blank file.

Both Amanda and I LOVE sharks, but she took it one step beyond me, she swims with them and photographs them to help show people that they are not the monsters Hollywood has made them to be. this work has also been donated to / Amanda Cotton / for the preservation of all sharks. / / Copyright / These Images and Writings Do Not Belong To ANY Public Domain.

This is the second of my new series of boat paintings. / This painting is watercolour on paper. Image size, 42×46 cms. I was really taken by this seagull ready to take a drink in one of the boats recently filled up by our heavy Autumn storms. Thank you all so very much for all the kind comments, faves and watches. I really appreciate these. See more of Freda’s works: / Boats / City / Fractals / Stillife / Figures / Landscape / Seascape / Abstract Freda’s website I belong to Oatley 101 Society of Artists
The heavy heart sinks to the bottom of the pool of existence, / oblivious to the beauty of the ripples it creates across the surface of time… Self-absorbed, such a burdened heart, drifts slowly downwards in darkness, unaware of the magic that occurs when its waves touch the shore and return, or intermingle with the ripples of others to create intricate patterns of light and colour. / In the downward spiral, the heavy heart remains blind to the sacred art of its passing where the circles of light extend ever outwards, revealing new directions it might have taken if it had only once let go and looked up… PLEASE view larger…
Lithuania, Klaipeda region, Curonian spit / THIS SERIES FROM / August 14-16, 2009 : morning/day/evening/night CLICK FOR COMMENTS / / at First Things / / ! The Curonian Lagoon (or Bay, Gulf; Russian: Kуршский залив, Lithuanian: Kuršių Marios, Polish: Zalew Kuroński, German: Kurisches Haff) is separated from the Baltic Sea by the Curonian Spit. / In the 13th century, the area around the lagoon was part of the ancestral lands of the Curonians and Old Prussian people. Later it bordered the historical region of Lithuania Minor. At the northern end of the Spit, there is a passage to the Baltic Sea, and the place was chosen by the Teutonic Knights in 1252 to found Memelburg castle and the city of Memel. The town is officially called Klaipėda since 1923 when the Memel Territory was separated from the German Empire. / As the new Interwar border, the river that flows into the Curonian Lagoon near Rusnė (German: Ruß) was chosen. The river’s lower 120km in Germany were called die Memel by Germans, while the upper part located in Lithuania was known as Nemunas River. The border also separated the peninsula near the small holiday resort of Nida, Lithuania (German: Nidden); the southern part of the Spit and the Lagoon remained in Germany until 1945. / This border remains today, as after World War II, the southern end of the Spit and the German area south of the river, the part of East Prussia with the town Königsberg located in Sambia, became part an exclave of Russia called Kaliningrad Oblast.

Pastel on Colourfix paper (burgundy) – 50cm x 35cm This is a ‘labour of love’ (although it wasn’t really a labour)! I finished it last weekend. It is for my mum and she is giving it to someone as a wedding present, so I have to work out a way to get it to the U.K. without it falling to pieces on the way!!!! Any bright ideas??? My latest cunning plan is to frame it under perspex. The wattle trees are blooming at the moment, although the blossom is almost passed it’s best. A sign that spring is on the way. This is one of my favourite stretches of the Goulburn River, near Seymour. Featured in Imaginative Realism – Nov 2009 / Featured in Landscape Painting – Nov 2009
Ahh summer has arrived early for some of us this year. After a day at the beach last weekend, I was able to get that good old feeling back that only summer can bring! These kids were playing around at the beach, and I couldn’t help but be reminded of a time in life when going to the beach, making a sand castle, digging a hole to fill when tide comes in, finding something living a rock and burying someone in sand were the best things you could ever do. Life’s simple pleasures. I live for a sunny day.
