Hi! I'm professional photographer Paul Kerr,
from Canberra, Australia.

Ari's Cowboys! 🀠 Happy Friday everyone. A bi Ari's Cowboys! 🀠

Happy Friday everyone. 

A bit under the weather for the past week, but did manage to get out Monday & Tuesday nights for short stints. The rest of the week, luckily, the less than stellar milky way shooting weather, has been good for me making me stay in. πŸ˜€  I've used that time to go back into my archives and do some creative work. 

This shot is a combination of more than 2 and a 1/2 years of work.  Early in 2019 I went with the master, Ari Rex, to a site that was off the Barton Highway a bit and we took this foreground shot.  It was always intended to be used for a creative shot, but it's only recently I've got around to doing the creative work. πŸ˜‰

What do you think?

Throwback Thursday! Nanima Trails. I love a good s Throwback Thursday!
Nanima Trails.
I love a good star trail. They look awesome and it allows me, as a photographer, to sit back and just lose myself in the night sky.🀩. Bliss.🀩

The end of the Milky Way season in 2019 was when I really started to get more confident in what I was doing with astrophotography. I had gone along with Ari to a new place, which has now become very familiar to those who undertake his workshops, to shoot. The high outlook here means that the Milky Way is visible for a long time into the season.  We did a number of different shooting techniques this night, but this star trail has to be my favourite.  Pushing the long exposure to limits; the longer you go, the more hotspots you end up with on the sensor. However, the single shot really shows how far, and how quickly, we travel through space on this gigantic space ship of ours, called Earth. 🌏

What is your favourite ways to pass time?  Leave an answer in the comments.πŸ˜ƒ

Milky Falls. The Gibraltar Falls are a cascade wat Milky Falls.
The Gibraltar Falls are a cascade waterfall on the Gibraltar Creek, in the ACT, approximately 50 kilometres from Canberra's city centre. The falls have a 50-metre (160-foot) drop.  The falls were depicted in the 1966 oil painting titled Rescue at Gibraltar Falls, by John Perceval.
Having been a bit under the weather since last week and seeing the magnificent clear skies over the weekend where I didn't venture out, I made the call to head out for a short shoot last night. Still not 100%, as I was home by 9.00 and surprised my wife with how early it was. 😁 
It was well worth braving the cold, magical skies and waterfalls with the Milky Way shining, high up above.
Yes, I may be crazy, but it feels amazing being out just enjoying the night sky. 🀩 What are the things you can't do without?

Tracked. When it gets to this time of year the Mil Tracked.
When it gets to this time of year the Milky Way gets high in the sky and it is hard to capture it with something of interest unless you wish to create a many picture panoramic shot.  But you can use this time to get longer exposures which results in much less noise in your shots. These captures can be used for printing of larger sized prints. Or depending on the type of tracker you may be able to use a longer focal length lens to zoom in on specific areas of the galaxy.

With this capture I have used my @move to get a less noisier capture of the core, highlighting it's natural beauty. 🀩
