Lunar Eclipse, or Comet Of Doom?
Shot from May Drive, using an Olympus TG-4 with an external battery. 1:20:00 exposure, starting at totality, and continuing to 3/4 disk. Either that, or a comet impacted on Perth and we're all blown to bits.

Late night thunderstorm
We had a thunderstorm to the north (and west) of us last night, and I was lucky enough to catch a few of the strikes. Unfortunately, the bulk of the action was over 120km away. Even so, we got quite the show - and it demonstrates how far lightning is visible! This first shot, the strike was about 40km away, out to sea. Single strike to the West. 115mm, f/5, 30s, ISO100, Samsung NX1, processed in Snapseed. The strikes in this shot were approximately 120km away (according to the strike map). Composite of multiple strikes to the North, over the lights of Hillary's Boat Harbour, heavily cropped. 50mm, f/4.5, 30s, ISO100, Samsung NX1, processed in Snapseed. Sadly, the storm mostly collapsed after this, and we packed it in after another 20 minutes of no strikes. Naturally, as soon as we got home, we heard thunder.

One of the few upsides to a big bushfire is the amazing sunsets they create. Like this one.

The Perth Disc Golf Open was held at the Pine Lines course at Gidgegannup this last weekend.
The Perth Disc Golf Open was held at the Pine Lines course at Gidgegannup this last weekend. We had an astounding turn-out with over fifty players from Perth, interstate, and overseas. Despite pounding rain in the afternoon of the first day, everyone had a fantastic time, and we were privileged to see some amazing play - especially from the Women's division which is growing rapidly. #Discgolf #Perth #perthdiscgolfopen
Boosting the signal...
Boosting the signal... Originally shared by Jeffrey Watkins (The Next Doctor) With only 30 days left to raise much needed funds, it looks like our little film may have its release date postponed even further. If you can help out, or know someone who might be able to help spread the word, please. I am personally proud of the work we have done here and it would be sad to see it not come to fruition. #indiegogo #Nior #Perth #Film http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-silent-city
