Oberon @ night

A few months ago, I managed to jag an invite to photograph a private garden in Oberon. I planned it out nearly 6 weeks in advance using Photopills, timed for the brightest Milky Way Galactic Core, then just crossed my fingers and legs that the weather was going to play ball.
I got there about 2pm in the arvo to drive around and work out shot locations, and it was a little overcast.
As I set up for my first shot, a sunset timelapse, the clouds rolled in, and I was feeling a little dejected that the weather was taking a turn for the worst.

I had 10 different locations planned around the garden to shoot from, and had mapped out my nights activities to the 30 minute blocks.
I was elated when I drove down to my first location at 7pm and the clouds just evaporated, leaving me with a spectacular crisp clear night.
Dew did get to be a bit of an issue after about 8:30pm, but nothing that a few strategically placed hand warmers and dew heater didnt fix.

All these shots were panos of one flavour or another, taken on my Canon 6D with Samyang 14mm, f2.8, ISO3200/6400
