After experiencing some quite heavy rain late in the afternoon I was surprised to see the sky clear very quickly. It inspired me to take an impromptu drive up to Jimna State Forest and do a photo shoot I've been thinking of doing for a while, capturing some night scapes featuring the Heritage Listed Jimna Fire Tower.
And oh boy it was worth it. I experienced the best seeing in years!! The rain had scrubbed that sky so clean and the air so still.
Anyway, here's the best shots of the night/morning.
Cameras - Canon 1100D and Canon 550D
Lenses - Tamron 18 - 200mm Samyang 8mm
The close up of the tower with star trails was one single 32 minute sub.
The wider star trails is built from 222 one minute subs.
