Etihad Stadium - Melbourne Docklands by mcrow5, on Flickr

this has got to be the most emotional photo I have ever taken. During the exposure I got an SMS from my dad telling me that my aunty had passed away after a 3 year battle with cancer. I was almost in tears taking this photo

Sorry to hear mcrow.
It's a great photo, and one that will always remind you of your Aunty.

RIP

sorry to hear Mcrow, maybe you will meet again, who knows whats up in the sky there for us all later
Epic picture to go with it bud, great shot.

I hope in time it will bring you special and happy memories of your aunt.

Our condolences to you and your family.

friggin awesome Mcrow

time for some more Black Rock this time at night, with one very long exposure.


Black Rock, VIC - Star Trails by mcrow5, on Flickr

who said star trails with the moon out in the middle of suburbia couldn't be done? this proves them wrong

i know its not perfect, its noisy and has lost a lot of detail. next time will be 1000 photos stacked and not just one.

cool mcrow, love the star streaks

thanks T

one from today, last year i thought Sandown was crap for photos, and i am still right. 2 spots around the whole track for the public to take photos from. one is so far away i have to crop the photo and remove about half of it, even at 400mm focal length. it started raining and i couldnt be bothered hanging around for anything to happen. not enough cars going around the track at the same time, i got bored.


Greg Murphy vs Craig Lowndes by mcrow5, on Flickr

headed down to Inverloch this evening, bit of a shame there was a huge cloud covering up the horizon. bummed about it, but i go there early enough to get some red in the clouds. Lightroom helped me out in getting more red into them though

Southern Cross Station, Melbourne - Tilt Shift by mcrow5, on Flickr

went back down to Inverloch again last night, disappointing sunset as the clouds where to far to the right of the frame for me to get them in the same photo as the rock formation.

thanks mate, yeah it was, the 88th floor sky deck. it was hard though, so many reflections coming off the glass it was annoying to not get them in the frame.

Love the Eagle's Nest one - really nice framing with the rock formation casting a harsh contrast with the soft curls of coulds. And it doesn't matter that you couldn't catch the sunset clouds you wanted as the rocks are glowing a colour that hints at what is just out of shot. Nice!

thanks OD! just read this thread

anyway, heres 3 from the weekends outing. couldnt really do much with the one of the dam wall, it was raining and overcast. its a bit dull and boring, but if i do anything to spice it up it ends up looking unnatural, so i only edited it to make it as good as it could be.
