Wombanook Milkyway - SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry
It's been over a year and a half since we packed up our little cabin in Australia and began the slow process of relocating to Canada. After living in this remote 4WD only access ridge top cabin full time for over seven years, posting this up makes me more than a little homesick. It was shot on one of the last few nights I stayed at the cabin. It was shot using a Canon EOS 6D, Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC at ISO, 3200 and 30s exposure time. This is my second entry into the Long Exposure Steemit Photo Challenge run by @jamtaylor. Wollombi Valley, NSW, Australia

Good work Rob, you've also got 2 planets in there Mars and Saturn. If you look just to right of centre, there is a triangle 3 bright orange stars, the righthandmost star is Saturn, and then below and to the left is Mars.
Wow thats really cool. Thanks for letting me know.
Just had a look at your blog; some amazing info up there. How is Brisbane treating you? I grew up there but have not lived there since 2002.
I really like Brisbane, have no complaints apart although don't know how I would go without aircon from December to February!
This is an incredible photo! I feel like I'm in a Star Wars film. Incredible clarity - really fine work.
Holy Night!
This is amazing. I have a few long exposures posted, but they do not compare to this.. haha
Well done.
Thanks ; Appreciate the kind support !
Ah man, I can see why you'd miss this place!!!
Yes. We have 40 acres there on top of the ridge-line. One day we might go back.
Ah, I'm glad you still own it. :)
Gorgeous! Amazing hot.
Thanks

Wow, 7 years living in such a remote place...I might go all Wolf Creek.
Nice shot too :)
Mental note {never go camping with Kieran for more than two weeks at a time without bringing a chainsaw and face shield for self defense}
All camping and no Latte's makes Kieran a dull boy
That’s why we camp with a stove top espresso .
Can you make fern shapes in the milk foam with a stove top espresso maker? I think not...
You know some people paid a lot of money to study arts and humanities at university so they could work in a cafe well into their 30's perfecting coffee foam pictures. These people need our support.
"Can you make fern shapes in the milk foam with a stove top espresso maker? I think not..." That sounds like a challenge. I think if I had a magnetic laboratory stirrer that was attached with some teflon tape to a sintered stainless steel high surface area spring in a ceramic pan on the camp stove I could froth the milk. Then I could use my Swiss army knife to ladle it out in fern shapes. Perhaps even a love heart ... hmm...
Alternatively here is a battery operated milk frother to take hiking with you !

Actually throw that battery operated imitation milk froth machine away; and get this high pressure camping stove milk steamer !

Thanks . Very kind of you.
Dang, that's a sweet place. How far away were you from any city?
It’s about 45 min to the closest shops / supermarket ; and about an hour and a half from Sydney. It is in a wine region so it’s only 5 minutes form a wine bar with live music . It’s all about priorities :)
Upvoted ☝ Have a great day!
Thanks
