One the best days on our US trip earlier this year. We rented a Jeep and drove ourselves to White Pocket. The Journey from Page takes a good couple of hours but is well worth it. Just check road conditions before going as you can get stuck easily!

Not a bad office to work in when I do have to come into the city for work!

Horseshoe Bend is an immense site just outside Page in Arizona. It gets ultra busy but don’t let that put you off going if you are in the area!

As I’m still learning PixInsight I decided to have a good play around and re-edit the Orion Nebula shot I got the other day.

More attention paid to curves transformation and brining out the varying colours.

Which do you prefer?

One of the prettiest waterfalls in Victoria is in the high country just outside of Bright. Ladies Bath falls is just a short walk from the car park!

Processing this was hard! By no means perfect but this is what I got last night!

We had a few hours of clear skies finally last night so I was able to get the telescope out and shoot the Orion Nebula. I’ve been wanting to try this but I hadn’t got to grips with guiding so was delaying it. Finally last night I got good guiding results!

I think this is called Lion rock. In in the Sorrento/Portsea region. I’ve only been there once at sunrise and it was super cloudy but amazing all the same.

The Dragon Head in Rye on the Mornington Peninsula is pretty much my favourite location to shoot locally.

Closer to home this time….we call this Sierra Nevada and it’s on the Mornington Peninsula just outside of Melbourne. Hard to get to but well worth it!

Another Oregon gem - Toketee Falls just north of Medford. This one requires a little more effort to get to but worth it all the same!

Mesa Arch - Utah. A crazy walk in pitch black to get there in plenty of time for sunrise and to beat the crowds.

An epic waterfall just a short drive outside of Portland, Oregon. Well worth a visit!
