Dawn and Before.The last few days.

Post by Derek Klepp »

I am enjoying these winter mornings and as the moon dissappears I will have a week or two trying to get the setting milky Way.

Beautiful photography Derek, it must be beautiful wandering around in the peace and quiet of the night. Do you ever run into trouble? I have been going out to our local cow field to image the comet this past week around 2-3.30am in the morning, beautiful and peaceful experience to be surrounded by the heavens, and I never even gave it a second thought until my mother went mad that I went alone :)

Thanks everyone .Yes Rainer they are navigation lights .When i was a child 40 years ago there were up to 40 prawn trawlers now there is one and a handful of professional fishermen.
Alexandra I Seldom run into trouble I had years of security jobs in my youth and am always very diplomatic.Mind you I do keep my cool when all the illegal campers take up the waterfront spots. The other day a man tried to sell me acid at 5am in the morning we had a lovely conversation about photography and he was glad to see me the next day.
I also find that in the early hours there are never many people around . I have been walking around these areas at night since I was 12 or 13 it is my home and I have become very good at avoiding people if there are too many campers I will simply light them all up with my spotlights and go elsewhere.
Night vision gets worse as I get older :lol: .
Derek
