Sometimes a gamble pays off.
I’ve been eyeing up this composition for a little over a year - not original, I know, but still a shot I’ve been wanting to take. Hard to argue with a Bortle 1 sky! Being a shift worker it can be tough to convince my regular shooting mates to head out on a “school night”, but because my luck is pretty rotten with lining up moonless nights with clear weather on my days off - it pays to take advantage when the stars literally align. The weathers been shit the past few days, but my weather app of choice was telling me there was a window, and I decided it was worth risking a drive for nothing. So here I found myself, on a Sunday night, by myself, stood about 50m into the Tongariro crossing, standing behind a tripod taking photos of the stars. Due to being a bit broken in my old age, this is as much of the Tongariro crossing I expect I’ll ever do, but at least I can say I’ve been on the trail

Don’t forget YouTube! No timelapse shot at this location as I didn’t want to be there toooo long, but I’d love it if you subscribed to the channel!
A truck driving past kindly lit the trees for me on this Milkyway shot Sunday morning.

Rather than posting the full blog here, I’m posting the link to my website post. Not to drive traffic, I’m just too lazy to figure out how to insert the screenshots and pictures mid post
Two: I need to proofread these before posting them
Three: Please consider joining my patreon if you get something out of this content. Much appreciated!!
A branch and a galaxy.
Check out the timelapse I took while shooting this at the same location over on YouTube. (A jetty as the foreground instead though)

Almost exactly a year ago I was at this spot with my mate Nathan. Tonight, it was plan B as the plan A spot was ruined by the presence of a bunch of humans (that’ll teach me for shooting on a long weekend). Not a bad wee spot for plan B, a nice view up the river/lake towards the sunset behind the lil jetty. Fucking hell I do love myself a pano
