I pottered about today – my biggest achievements were uncovering seedings, watering gardens and covering them back up again. I enjoy watering 🙂
Clear skies mean I can have a bit more of a play trying out night shots. Its amazing what the camera picks up that the eye doesn’t see – especially when enhancing them a bit.
Anyway – was just experimenting trying to get the cherry blossoms in the frame with the stars – in between inconvenient trucks and their massive headlights driving past!!
Anyway – its a work in progress! We do get the Southern Lights in Tasmania – but I haven’t seen them yet! I would love to capture an aurora on my camera! I just have to practice my skills, just in case I am lucky enough to see one!
Hope your day has been lovely!
Cheers
Hi Lisa,
I enjoyed your posting today about night photography. My husband is a great photographer of the night sky. If you want to learn more about photographing the night sky, he suggests joining the Facebook group, Astrolandscapes. There also may be a URL that predicts the southern aurora. There is one for Alaska which worked well, so maybe there are ones for the southern hemisphere. I liked your idea of photographing spring flowers at night. I’ll have to try that when it is spring again up in the northern hemisphere. Enjoy. Carla
Hi Carla! Thank-you for the info! Will check that page out. I joined the Tasmania Aurora page and the photos that get posted there are insane!!
At least now, there are more chances to get out at night without getting rained on – which spoils the view of the stars! 🙂
Hi Lisa,
Just saw this post on my Facebook about northern lights visible far lower than normal The southern lights would be so also. You may be able to see them from Tasmania! ~~Carla

Thanks! It seems like people further south are seeing more than us… but I will keep an eye on things!!
