365 Photo Challenge – Week 17 Extras

The long weekend break over Easter allowed Layton a bit of time to get out on a couple of walkabouts.  These pictures were a couple of his favourites from these outings and were included in his 365 Challenge as Extras this week.

Both have been taken early morning in Invercargill.

3 Degrees Centigrade with the Milky Way

It’s been a while since our last post.  We’ve had a major project on the go (all to be revealed in the coming months).  We’ve got a few walkabouts to catch up on and of course a few week’s of Mini Men roundups, but we thought we’d start with this wee gem from this morning.

Milky Way over the Estuary

It’s currently the start of Winter here and as the title suggests it was very cold out this morning – but what better weather for a clear sky and a very visible Milky Way.

There is quite a bit of geometric distortion in the image, which has been left in so the Milky Way doesn’t get cropped out.  Does this count as a reason for purchasing a wide angle lens? 🙂
