In the last of my set from Killcare Beach, these seascape panoramas consist of 4 images each stitched together using AutoPano Pro. They’re a lovely way to finish this series, it was a great morning and processing them has inspired me to get out again soon.
Good Morning Killcare!
It was a good morning at Killcare, on the 4th January 2012 when I captured various nightscapes and seascapes during the pre-dawn and dawn skies. Here’s a selection of new images from that session.
Venus, Jupiter and the ISS over Tuggerah Lake
Last night, 13th March I was able to capture Venus, Jupiter and the International Space Station transiting just past the conjunction of the planets. It was a magnificent sight as my daughter Eliza and I watched the show over the serene Tuggerah Lake at Long Jetty.
Venus and Jupiter Conjunction at Gosford Waterfront
The Venus and Jupiter Conjunction during March 2012 is progressing nicely, as the pair of planets get closer together each night until around the 15th March, then slowly drift apart again. This image of the conjunction was captured last night on the 12th March 2012 at Gosford Waterfront.
Sunrise Contemplation
A lone fisherman, contemplating life, work, family – who knows, maybe just hoping he doesn’t get washed off by a big wave, or hoping he gets a nice catch for the morning. I was just about to head home, when I tried one last shot.. and captured this beauty.
Killcare at Dawn
The orange dawn light begins to creep in the scene. The last of the bright stars shine their hardest before being swallowed by the ever brightening blue sky.
Killcare Beach Star Trails
I had two cameras running on the 4th January 2012, when I was at Killcare Beach capturing the Emu and Comet Lovejoy. I’ve already posted the first star trails result, Pre-Dawn Star Trails at Killcare Beach, and here is the second one – captured with the Sigma 17-70mm lens @ 17mm, ISO1600.
The Emu and Comet Lovejoy at Killcare
On the 4th day of 2012 I headed out to Killcare Beach to try and capture the last gasps of Comet Lovejoy as it was fading from the pre-dawn sky.
Kioloa Beach Sunrise Panorama
This photo is likely one of the last from my series on Kioloa Beach. I created this panorama a while ago but it never really grabbed me. I’ve been staring at it too long, and it’s time to post it and be done with it 
It looked good at the time, and I like the rays extending out through the clouds.
Interview on NBN News
Yesterday, I got to meet Ken Duncan as we were both interviewed by the local NBN TV station about my winning photograph in the Ken Duncan Awards, and the prize trip out to the Kimberley’s with Ken.
