Reflections on the Passage of Time

[rogerg (Roger)]

Reflecting on the Passage of Time … Startrails reflect in the waters of Lake Leschenaultia on a cold winters night in Western Australia. A winter which should be raining and cloudy but is devoid of both. Mist drifts across the lake in eddy’s, flowing over the wall of the lake upon which I am standing. A frigidly cold experience for the photographer, 3 degrees and fast moving mist drifting through you for the 5 hours of photography.

280 odd images using my wife's EOS 500D.
30 second exposures @ 800 ISO, f/4.
Canon 8-15mm F/4L fisheye.

Even with all my ski gear on I was quite frozen by the end of the night

cool result Roger. Yep, June has been a ripper of a month for clear nights down here too.

Great photo Roger.

The colder the night ...the better the shot!

Ripper for astronomy but useless for rain I actually enjoy a break from astronomy in the winter .. but it's still good to get shots when able of course!

Indeed ... not much ice yet this winter, but the dry weather is making for more stable conditions I think.
