Aurora Australis 28 May 2017

I am the first to admit that I am not that into landscapes and astro-photography.

Being blessed living in New Zealand I am spoilt for scenery, and I guess I take it for granted.
The sun will always rise and set, the hills/mountains/clouds/stars will always be there.

People change, the opportunity that may exist today, can be gone tomorrow.

I am a people photographer.  

But boy oh boy, I was excited as the predictions started to trickle through about tonights storm.

I have never seen anything like it before, streaks of light visible to the naked eye streaming above your head.

I am looking forward to seeing other photographers efforts.

I am sure we will see many in the coming days.

(I  have shed loads to work through lol)

A book was once published of twenty photographs by twenty photographers, of the same model. They were as different as twenty paintings of the same model. Which was proof, once and for all, of the flexibility of the camera and its validity as an instrument of expression. There are many paintings and buildings that are not works of art. It is the man behind whatever instrument who determines the work of art.
