Hi,

My wife Kathy and I recently stayed at our favourite Bed & Breakfast in the Barossa Valley.
It has a private lake situated on 40 acres with some wonderful old outbuildings.
This is the first time I've tried a lake night scape, it took quite a bit of scouting around to find the best shots, particularly to get the reflections right.

Orion image. This is a 3 panel mosaic, it was the only way I could get the whole scene, the reflection of Orion was only 2 metres in front of me.

Southern Cross. This is a single frame. I disturbed a fox trying to get a duck dinner while setting up for this shot, it stood behind me for quite while, eyes glowing in the torch light, a little unnerving while trying to take images.

Pleiades. 3 panel mosaic.

Camera. Canon 1100D, 18 to 55mm zoom at 18mm, ISO 3200, 30 sec exposures.

Cheers,

Justin.
