    Love the return of blue sky - we had that today, and then this afternoon this dramatic stuff....

    I really like ngirungiru!
    They're the messenger birds among Kaitahu (fantails are also messenger birds - but of ill-import-)

    This cheeky fellow has been in the house twice now, last time I was able to gently hold it and show it an open window. It now comes so close to me in the garden my lens cant focus. :)


    I like it's fluffy side

    How long is Autumn? Not complaining, my favourite rose thinks it’s spring and is getting ready to flower!!

    Hi Nora, nice trees - flowering cherries? Officially Winter begins on the 1st of June. I live fairly close to the beach, and on that date I was mildly surprised to see groups of wet, near-naked togged and toweled young people making their way back from their first-day-of-winter swims! Hardy types or just the carefree nature of youth? The latter I think. Sorry no pix as I didn't think of it at the time.

    flowering cherries?

    Oh, and yes, they are flowering cherries - they looked a bit different when I photographed them at night, with flash and high dynamic setting last autumn....

    That's a really beautiful photo. Would the photographer (or anyone) like to talk about how it was taken?
    The problem I have with exposures of more than a few seconds at night is that I get star trails.

    He gives details on the Photosoc Facebook page, but I'll let him have a chance to tell the tale if he wants.

    Yup and with my super-basic number I can get star blobs, but not a whole sky-full like that!

    I have been looking at aurora photos on Flickr and Youtube. People often ask how they were done. I don't understand the answers but you will....

    Still great effort for your fantastic camera. My other did this one night whilst I drank wine in the sun lounger. They are great viewing of stars at night. I dont know other than, long exposure and he's rigged the telescope ,camera and modified a motor.
    plus used his star tracker on the phone. Go figure eh ? :)

    He's a man of many talents, that's for sure. I'd like to see that setup next time you're down in the Big Smoke.

    Is that a composition of a number of images using software?

    Must say, bigger stars are easier to catch….. with a fully automated point and shake camera..

    Oh Rob Dickinson, great guy.
    It would appear the answer to my question is "get a really fast, wide-angle lens". :-)

    Whoa! If only the naked city eye could see like that!

    During the power outages after the earthquakes the sky looked like that in Chchch (well almost) - I love the anecdote about folk from New York being out in the deep dark country for the first time, asking why the sky was ''all blurry and smudgey"?

    My other did this one night...

    I'm guessing that's too high in the sky to be a Subaru logo...

    Home again on the riverbank these last few days - the walnut tree is finally going thoroughly autumnal. This morning as the first real sun broke through after the rain, many leaves have fallen and the foliage is much thinned out.
