Tired of not being able to get out!! ISS and Graves.

[redomatic]

Getting a little tired of the less than perfect weather over the last 4 weeks up here (Sunny Queensland, come on !! :shrug: ).

Went for a drive on the hope of getting something + knew the ISS was making a bright pass tonight.

Here are two shots from a church and grave yard at Brooweena (50km west of Maryborough) ...

D800, 30sec, iso3200, f2.8 14mm.
3 shots for the ISS (2 stars and one foreground)
No so happy with the church, but I'll get it much better next time!

There are a couple more on Facebook if you are interested but these were the best two.

Agree on that first one, great how it goes straight through the milky way!

Great looking photos Michael.

I love the first one but the second shows great potential....work on it.

Were you alone?.......were you scared?

Send the first one to Asterisk (APOD).

It is electrifying. :)

I joined Asterisk, still need to figure out where to post, but I'll get there - Thanks H.


lol.... all i will say is the cows and "other" farm / bush animals can make quite funny sounds at night, I will have to admit to thinking "oh, I wounder what makes that type of sound" - They definitely weren't from old MacDolands farm!

they are both good pics, but that first one is great.

Michael.

Great shots, the first one is very special, perfect timing with the ISS.

Really really nice both of them. Big fan of the recent graveyard shots. Heaven and Earth, ashes to ashes, a beginning and an end, all captured in one. Just fantastic stuff,. Thanks for presenting them.
