Sunrise 15th July 2013 in Perth, Western Australia

Check out the amazing sunrise this morning! Photographs taken from the hills of Perth, Western Australia and including the “Golden Pipeline” bathed in the morning colours.

Golden Pipeline at Sunrise, 15th July 2013. For those not familiar with the “Golden Pipeline” it is the water pipe which supplies the Goldfields (primarily Kalgoorlie) with water from the Perth dams (immediately from Mundaring Weir but supplied through the interconnected water system). If you travel through Cunderdin on the Great Eastern Highway you will see they have even painted the pipe gold. At various stages on its journey the pipeline splits in to two separate pipes and re-joins in to one single pipe. This photograph was taken in Mt Helena in the hills of Perth.

Glen Forrest

I enjoyed a walk around some forest in Glen Forrest / Helena Valley this afternoon with my new lens. Great to be out and about in the bush with camera gear, in daylight! My ankle held up well too which is good.

Pathway in the Sky Panoramic

This is a wide panoramic taken at Mundaring Weir. The panoramic contains three frames. It’s one of my better recent astrophotography results I think. Read more at my Astro Photography Australia site.

Pre-dawn Glow over Helena Valley

I absolutely love this photo from the lookout over Mundaring Weir (looking over Helena Valley. I just love the layer of fog, with the soft glow of pre-dawn light on the trunks of the trees, with the crescent moon and the beautiful soft blue tones. Buy astrophotography such as this here.

Comet 29P Schwassmann-Wachmann continues to evolve

The Comet 29P Schwassmann-Wachmann; 2013-06-28T10:51:45.613; which had an outburst on approximately the 13th June 2013 continues to evolve and now, after a 5 day break of cloud, is appearing quite different from the 22nd when I last photographed it. The image below shows how broad and diffuse the “tail” has become, and how point-like the nucleus is now as opposed to the broader and brighter nucleus it was on the 15th shortly after outburst.
