Under the Torii by PAkDocK

The last sun light reaching the wood of the Torii. Everything is quite, the lake is almost still. A long exposure would do the rest.

Noren. Japan by PAkDocK

Noren are traditional Japanese fabric dividers, hung between rooms, on walls, in doorways, or in windows.
Noren are Japanese culture, like these ones at a more than three centuries old traditional restaurant. The wind did the rest.

The Darkness by JayDaley

The darkness

I have spent years learning how to chase images in the dark. Crawling over rocks, climbing mountains, wading through water, dodging cows, sheep, emu’s, kangaroos, camels and bulls all under the blanket of darkness with nothing but a headlight as my lonely savior. You name it and I feel like I have had to do it at some point.

In this lonely corner of the world I was, again, alone in the dark.

I had arrived at Kelvedon a little after 11pm. It was bone chilling with the wind chill well (well) below zero. All around me was light from waning crescent moon and a quick check of my galaxies map showed that once this moon set, I would presented with a glorious milky way.

I had the gear to keep me warm and nowhere better to be so there was really only one option.

After setting up my tent close by I stumbled around the water’s edge trying to predict a perfect composition for a milky way that wasn’t yet visible. I chose my location, shot my foreground and waited. Cold. Alone and in the dark.

Solitary by JayDaley

I had left Lake St Clair National Park after my snow hike into and back from Dove Lake and made my way to the east coast with the intention of shooting sunrise at Kelvedon the next morning.

After 3 hours of dodging Kangaroos and other wildlife I arrived at the beach to a remarkably clear sky, which was not doing much for my hopes of an interesting sunrise the next morning. According to the car the temp outside was -5 and I still needed to set up my tent and get a few hours sleep but this clear sky above me was just too appealing to not try my luck before settling in for the night.

The first sight of dawn eventually came and it was cold, my sleeping bag was warm and I was feeling rather uninspired after seeing nothing but stars just a few hours earlier.

I unzipped my sleeping bag and there it was – cloud. The beautiful high and mid cloud that us photographers dream about.

The breeze on the waterfront was bone chilling and there wasn’t another person to be seen or heard. With my tent in the background and this desolate and cold beach all to myself I was really alone.

It’s a shot that’s been done a thousand times before but I couldn’t resist the temptation. To be honest, I kinda like it. There’s a certain sense of serenity felt when looking at these impossibly tall tree’s reaching to the sky.

Natural Wonder by JayDaley

…and another astro from my recent return to the desert.

This time with inclusion of a bush in my near foreground, which is certainly, a step away from my usual style but something I wanted to try experimenting with.

Deep Silence by JayDaley

Standing in the Australian outback under a starry night sky is a unique experience. Unique because there is an intense silence and a deep feeling that you are truly away from the world.

It’s a unique feeling I am growing to appreciate and love more each and every time I make the journey out into the middle of this big empty country.

Here is a shot from Mungo National Park in remote NSW. Silent, empty and truly awe inspiring.
