Happy Australia Day everyone. The day were we all take a day off work and celebrate the landing of the first fleet on the shores at Port Jackson in 1788.
Usual celebrations often involve getting together with friends for drinks and a BBQ, and later on going and watching the local fireworks, though this year, I’m working for a few hours over lunch, then heading home to the BBQ with friends that my wife organised.

I’m currently really enjoying night photography. I don’t know why, but there is something about the peacefullness at night time. The air is clear, there isn’t as much noise about, it’s just relaxing.
Here is another photo I took the other day. The sun had just set beind the mountains about 45 minutes before. I was trying to make it in time to get some sunset photos, but got held up and missed out.
Tonight (May 9th) is a full moon, so I’m going out again to see what great shots I can get. My current camera, a Fujifilm finepix S9500, as most cameras, has a Bulb setting, but for some reason, it has a time limit of 30 seconds, which is pretty useless, so I’m only currently able to do a maxium eposure length of 30 seconds.
I’m planing on getting a new camera possible towards the end of the year, something along a Canon 50D. That way I’d be able to take some better photos. 
Happy Australia Day everyone. The day were we all take a day off work and celebrate the landing of the first fleet on the shores at Port Jackson in 1788.
