Artist's Comments

Split Point, Airey's Inlet Lighthouse, Victoria, Australia with the Southern Hemisphere's half of the Milky Way in the background.

It looks as if the light house is guarding the galaxy from disaster.

The moment I saw the result on my camera's LCD screen, I knew I had an amazing opportunity here. I stood there for a good hour in the blistering cold shooting long exposures. This particular one was about 2 mins. I wanted to capture the stars with as little Earth-rotation as possible. The Light house itself is lit from passing cars in the distance during the exposure.

I diddn't even notice the shooting star, but the camera did, in almost every exposure there were at least one.

To see a much longer exposure time with the stars blurred due to the Earth's rotation I have another deviation here: [link]

actually I'd tweek it by duplicating it and making the shadow on the wall less obvious by shading it upwards a wee way, or you could go the other way
