🌌 Capturing History Under the Stars 🌌 Nestl

🌌 Capturing History Under the Stars 🌌

Nestled amidst the serene beauty of Namadgi National Park, Orroral Homestead stands as a testament to resilience and history. This historic homestead, which survived the 2020 Orroral Valley Fires, stands as a testament to resilience and history. Originally built in the 1860s, Orroral Homestead served as a vital station for early settlers and later became a key site for tracking satellites during the space age. 🛰️

In this shot, the Milky Way Core rises majestically in the background, accompanied by the ethereal beauty of the Dark Horse Nebula and the Rho Ophiuchi cloud formation. This celestial dance is a reminder of the timeless nature of our universe and the enduring spirit of places like Orroral Homestead.

🌟 **Throwback Thursday** 🌟 Throwing it back

🌟 **Throwback Thursday** 🌟

Throwing it back to the magical night when I stumbled upon this gem: a gum tree illuminated by battery-powered candles, with the Milky Way Core shining brilliantly above. 🌌✨ Can we take a moment to appreciate how the gum tree resembles a piece of broccoli under the starry sky? 😄

This shot marked the first use of my Sigma 35mm ART lens, which when viewed on the back of camera left a black ring on the screen which left me mortified. The ring disappeared when I closed the aperture and I later found out it was a firmware issue that just needed an update. Despite this, I was blown away by the incredible amount of light it captured at f/2 and allowing me to reduce the ISO values drastically. 📸💫 Needless to say, it quickly became my favourite lens for Milky Way captures. Have you ever had a surprising discovery while out shooting? Share your stories with us! #ThrowbackThursday #NightSky #MilkyWayMadness #Sigma35mmART 🌳🕯️

Red Road and The Emu.

Red, the sign of danger normally. But in this late night escapade from a few years back, it was a friend coming back my way not realising I was shooting. It made for a classic shot.

Have you been seeing the Emu in the sky? Let us know in the comments?
