I hope this journal finds you all well. I'm nursing a cold/flu at the moment so it's a good thing this isn't an audio journal as I don't have much of a voice at the moment.
I am going on holidays in a week and a half to Tasmania. Hopefully I can throw this cold/flu before then and capture some amazing scenery to show you all. The main reason for holidaying there is to hopefully witness (and photograph) my first aurora display. So I will have every conceivable body part crossed for some strong solar activity and clear skies during that time. Wish me luck.
My website "Capturing The Night" is taking shape. The front page is live now, with additions like the gallery, blog, and bio coming soon. Check it out here www.capturingthenight.com/
I have also created a page on Facebook for my photography www.facebook.com/CapturingTheN…
Please "like" and spread the word if Facebook is your thing.
Back in May I submitted a few of my images to an astronomy calendar competition and "Rising Tide" (below) was shortlisted for the public vote. After the vote, not only did it win the "Landscape Astrophotography" section and thus get a month in the calendar, it was then selected as the cover image. The calendars will go on sale shortly and I will post a link when they do if you are interested in purchasing one. EDIT: Calendars can now be purchased here shop.iceinspace.com.au/shop/as… if you wish.
I am going to feature one artist this month. Ingo Schobert
is a very talented photographer from the United States whose work I first came across from my role in the Naughty By Nature group. The first time I saw one of Ingo's stunning Infrared images I knew I just had to watch him. Ingo was the inspiration for trying some IR shots myself and while my astrophotography has been all consuming lately, I hope to do more very soon. A small selection of Ingo's great photography....
I'll once again leave with a bit of shameless self promotion.....
