as nicely executed as these would have been seriously technically challenging and prohibitively expensive.
Today the technology is available as an off-the-shelf consumer item.

In your skillful hands, that technology has been transformed into pure artistry.

Best Regards

Many thanks Gary. It's quite amazing how these cameras can see in the dark. When I showed some of the tour group on the back of my camera, they were amazed at what they were seeing.

I then took 7 of them out to the bungle bungles with me a few nights later and after a 5 minute tutorial on Piccanniny Creek bed, they were all capturing night sky images and were amazed. They all thought it was a highlight of the whole tour.

I like number 2 the best, the lighting of that tree in the foreground is captivating.

Thanks for your feedback I agonised for days trying to choose the best one

Pearler of a shot Mike.

Thanks Peter - the balance feels better in the first one to me too.
