Hi,
Living in south eastern Australia near Namadgi National Park and Kosciuszko erI am Canberra born and live in an area with quick access to pollution free dKark skies. Since seeing my first Aurora Australis in 1989 when I was living in Hobart Tasmania, one that filled half the heavens with a visible pink/red glow that I mistakenly first thought was the glow of a distant bushfire, I have develope

d an interest for photographing the aurora. With the ready availability of critical information about solar weather available on-line and collected by the DSCOVR spacecraft, it is possible to anticipate the arrival of conditions favourable to the aurora more accurately. Applying this information, it took nearly a year before I captured by first Aurora Australis from just south of Canberra on 23 June 2015, in minus 2 degrees at 5.00 am in the morning. This featured in an article in the Canberra Times: http://www.canberratimes.com.au/…/like-curtains-being-ruffl…. This aurora was visible clearly to the naked eye with reddish/pink beams visible to the side of Mt Tennent, near Tharwa in the ACT. SInce then, another of my aurora shots has been published in the Canberra Times: http://www.canberratimes.com.au/…/stunning-skyfirelike-auro…
My shots are printed with quality ink intended to last around 100 years without fading so the impact of the stunning image is preserved.

First day of Winter outing up the Snowy Mountains.

Its amazing what a dusting of snow and a bit of rain does to the Snowgums!

This one reminded me of what happens when you wet a gemstone thus exposing all the colours in their splendour!

My next workshop: Introduction to Night Sky Photography and Aurora Forecasting will be held on 20 June 2026 starting at 4 pm. The course will be in the Tharwa area to access the dark skies just south of Canberra.

I have got many amazing shots of the aurora in our area and the night sky with the Milky Way core now prominent making this an ideal time for the workshop!

Our Milky Way is a galaxy comprised of roughly 100 to 400 billion stars.

This galaxy known as the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy (M83) is estimated to be much smaller with only 30-50 billion stars!

So what's on my mind - how immense the universe is!
