Bay Of Fires

[CapturingTheNight]

Hi all,

This is how I spent my first night on my recent trip to Tasmania. Relaxing under the stars in the Bay Of Fires.

I really wanted to capture a literal Bay Of Fires image when I spent three nights in this part of Tasmania. So I scouted around for a nice coastal inlet with a good chance of giving me some nice reflections of the stars. The water wasn't quite as still as I had hoped leading to not many stars reflected, but I am still pretty happy with the result. The lighting of the opposite shoreline came courtesy of a car traveling along the road. Two image composite. One for the aforementioned lighting and one for everything else.

Nicely done Greg, I'm wondering exactly where, I know the area well but can't quite place the exact spot.

Great work Greg, love the balance between the sky and the foreground.

Normally I curse passing cars and their lights but it sure helped here.
