Back in February 2009, myself and 2 friends (Andrew Catsaitis and Andrew Murrell) met up at Sommersby Falls on the Central Coast of NSW for a photo expedition after a lot of heavy rain in recent days. Only a month earlier, the three of us were again at Sommersby Falls, but this photo session was [...]

Terrigal Sunrise
On the morning of the 17th September 2009, I was headed out to Terrigal beach on a lovely clear pre-dawn morning to photograph the conjunction of the Moon and Venus. When the sky became too bright for the conjunction, I took advantage of the lovely colours of the dawn to capture some images of the [...]
Venus and the Crescent Moon Conjunction at Terrigal
Hi all Back on the 17th September 2009, there was a lovely dawn conjunction of Venus and the Crescent Moon. I woke up early and was greeted to some beautiful clear skies, so I headed out to Terrigal to capture the pairing. Click each image to see a 1200px wide version. The data has been [...]
The Orion Constellation
Hi all This image shows the Orion Constellation in its natural environment. It’s a widefield vista showing all the major components, including Betelgeuse, Rigel, the belt stars, M42, the Running Man, the Horsehead and the flame, parts of Barnards Loop and a faint display of IC 2118. It’s only 35 minutes exposure, with no flats [...]
Milky Way For Sale
Hi all It’s been a long time since I’ve had any images to post – fortunately that’s changing now. We had some great skies up at Lostock at IISAC2009, and I was able to capture some widefield images and some experimental stuff. This image is the first I’ve had a chance to process since coming [...]
Saturated Colour Full Moon, May 2009
This image of the Full Moon (well, almost full – it was 99% illuminated) was taken on the 8th May 2009, using my Canon 20D attached to my ED80. I took 136 photos @ ISO100, 1/125s exposure. All photos were stacked in Registax. The image was processed in Photoshop to reveal the different compositions of [...]
The Saturated Colour Moon

From APOD: ..blue hues reveal titanium rich areas while orange and purple colors show regions relatively poor in titanium and iron. Continue reading to find [...]
Results from my First Wedding Shoot – Tanya and Marvin
Back in late January, I posted about Preparing for my First Wedding Shoot, and finally it’s time to follow it up with the actual results from the wedding! The wedding was in early February but a combination of very busy weeks and weekends meant it took longer than I’d hoped to finally get through and [...]
Bushwalking through Bouddi National Park
On the 10th January 2009, my son Jacob’s cub scout group went on a bushwalk through Bouddi National Park , starting from the top carpark at Maitland Bay, heading down through the bay, up and across the coastline and coming out at Little Beach. It was a nice walk on a popular bushwalking track. About 5.1km 1-way, we [...]
Photos of the Moon, Jupiter, Mercury & Mars Conjunction
I just love Moon and Planet conjunctions, and I just love early morning photography. When the two combine that’s when I hope to create something special. On the morning of the 23rd February, a beautiful conjunction rose in the pre-dawn sky. The Crescent Moon with earthshine on display shone brilliantly in the East as it was [...]
