Last Post
This is the last post on this blog in 2014. This was a wonderful bamboo creation at the Woodford Folk Festival. It was lit by colour cycling LEDs and open to the sky above. The first post of 2015 is coming your way tomorrow. Happy New Year one and all.

Moths
These are hydrofoil moths. They were part of the pre-race entertainment on Sydney Harbour. The craft glide so quietly while foiling but every now and then they crash and burn spectacularly when the balance is lost through a tack or gybe.

Wild Oats
Sailing past on the harbour was this this boat preparing for the Sydney to Hobart race. It is one of the most awarded boats in the fleet, Wild Oats 11.

Defocus
A quick defocused shot of the city lights. Notice the spots off centre are not circular. The complex optics that produce this effect must be quite remarkable. Physics is everywhere.

Horsehead Nebula
Another reprocessed image. This time it was my long attempted target of the Horsehead nebula, Barnard 33 in Orion (Original here). Again the raw files were developed before processing and stacking. The improvements can be seen mainly in the more accurate colour reproduction and reduced blooming of the bright stars.

Siding Spring Revisited
A reprocessed and improved version of the comet Siding Spring approaching planet Mars on the 18th October 2014 (Original post here). This version has used Adobe Lightroom to first develop the raw images before stacking and processing in Nebulosity. The difference a great piece of software makes to the data in an image is remarkable.

Sunspot 2192
The large sunspot 2192 crossing the face of the sun Saturday morning. This is quite spectacular to see, and fun to photograph, with the right solar filter (Never look directly at the sun!).

Favourite Tree
An old favourite photo of mine rehashed using Adobe Lightroom. It is amazing what a little digital development can do to a photograph. See the original image from 2010 here.
