Peterhau's Photos

Post by peterhau »

I have used redbubble for my photos as I had flickr accounts, icloud accounts and several others. I saw a guy selling t-shirts recently, one of the images was mine, so I have given up on free sites...

here is a sample of my work:

taken out over the brindabella mountain range, from Mt Ainslie
Image

Taken from Mount Ainslie, the lit area is the Executive Squadron at canberra airport
Image

Again, same storm, but the runway is in the foreground this time.

I have tried taking photos of fireworks, so as to gain experience in delayed exposures as well. These are from the Australia Day Fireworks, 2012.

these photos were taken on a cloudy day - the beams of light were all over the place, shooting through the gaps in the clouds. The sunset got a laser effect as it struggled to shine through.

Last night, while setting my camera up for D-Lighting (Nikon D3000) I got a couple of surprise photos.There was this one:

this one - the cloud is low enough to reflect the top of the tower:

and this one:

Image

somebody could tell me that there was dust in the air, but primarily it was caused by the orange streetlights reflecting on the clouds.

and here is the supercell that we missed out on:

the "small hills" are Mount Ainslie & Mount Majura.

from Mount Ainslie, the cell was even bigger than I thought:

couple of shots from tonight's storm, out the back of home under the pergola. If there wasn't an antenna in the neighbor's yard, it would have been perfect.

Great shots! Love the structure on those night-time CB's, and those supercells.
