I've done so little photography since all these fires started. At least I had time to repair my broken DFA25 and process this outtake from the White Mountains trip last month.
 We are not alone.

Last Friday night brought with it unusually still, calm conditions - together with a perfectly clear sky and enough moonlight to illuminate the foreground scenes. I wasn't going to let this opportunity pass to shoot stars through objects that would normally end up a blurry mess - trees and reeds!

The suburb of Lidcombe, in Sydney, is host to the Russian Old Orthodox Church of the Holy Annunciation-Assumption. It's not what one necessarily expects to find in an Australian suburb, but is quite beautiful.

:confused: I hope you don't hate this picture too much ... I used a CPL as it totally removes reflections, brightens colors and increases contrast. My color vision is kind of weird and colors have to be vibrant to "impress" me. TELL ME IF YOU HATE THIS, PLEASE. Tripod-mounted Pentax 645Z + FA 33-55 mm f/4.5 AL zoom, 1/6 sec @ f/32 with a CPL set at full polarization.

Thanks everyone for your very kind words about the Sydney Harbour picture. I am glad it worked, because it involved being up until about 4am on a work night!
I have looked closely at the high resolution picture, and can confirm that there are 12 separate cranes in view, all presumably involved in construction work. Sydney has been a focal point of development for quite some time now, so it's not unusual. In general, I find that annoying, but in this case, it was part of what I was trying to express in the shot. That juxtaposition of a traditional scene (old warehouse buildings, etc. - some of the oldest surviving buildings dating back to when Australia was first 'settled'/invaded by the British) and the almost alien-planet scene of modern, towering development. In that context, the cranes almost reminded me of a 'War of the Worlds' scene, with monstrous machines dominating in an impressive yet sinister way. And the stars were intended to play into that...
Those warehouses are certainly not used as warehouses any more - but serve as offices, restaurants and the like. The chimney you can see was intended to serve an inner city power station, which was never completed, making it some sort of folly, I guess...
Why did I have to shoot the scene quite so early in the morning? It's because the floodlights that illuminate the bridge would shine directly into the camera lens here, so the shot isn't really feasible until they go out at 1am.
The vantage point is the southeast pylon of the bridge. One has to stand there, as it's a solid masonry structure. Anywhere else, and the bridge deck moves around as cars and trains pass by, rendering the star trail aspect impossible.
All rather good fun, anyway!

Surfing, of course, is now very much associated with the Australian life style. But it wasn't always so... It is generally believed that surfing was brought to Australia in 1915 by Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku (though indigenous Australian people would very likely have enjoyed the water in similar ways for centuries). He famously demonstrated the technique at Harbord in Sydney. To commemorate this significant occasion, there is a statue to Kahanamoku outside the Harbord Diggers RSL Club, which is where this picture was taken.
Stars doing a passable impression of surf in the background!

cross processed fuji 50D e-6 120 film (very expired)...yashica C tlr....yashinon 85/f3.5
barely anything on the negative and the folks who processed the film did not scan it...fortunately have a friend that can and got something versus absolutely nothing!!
this being the second roll through the yashica C with very edges seems to indicate i should reseal the box with some cord

Late yesterday the clouds cleared up and we went comet hunting again, and found it thanks to an app I bought yesterday SkySafari Pro. Best $20 I have spent in a long time. Turns out we should have been able to see it two nights previously, if only we had known where to look and waited a bit for the sun to set. We also have a lot of light pollution, because towards our north and north-west is one of the most populated and prosperous provinces of China with about 110m people, all burning bright lights. But we saw it last night, so today I couldn't resist adding it to my sunset picture from two nights ago. Added the comet in its actual position where we found it last night, now I suppose it is called a fine-art compilation. :-)
