Proud to have gotten through several rounds of short-listing to be a finalist in the 2024 wilderness photographer of the year for two categories! Hoping to build on the momentum of 2024 where I've won several awards and otherwise done quite well in competitions to go even further and happy to share my journey with my fellow ostriches! #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #australia #photo

Happy New Year #nostr! What an amazing year it has been. From once in a lifetime aurora's gracing our skies to #bitcoin running up to 100k. Here's to many more good times ahead 🍻 6s exposure 📸: nikon d850 🔭: Sigma 14mm f1.8 Tripod: Sirui w2204 #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #australia #photo

I spent ages checking out this baby Jacana and it's sibling. Incredible birds, they're also known as lily walkers or jesus birds due to having huge feet that allow them to walk amongst the lilies with ease. #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #nostr #australia #photo

The Lagoon. To take this shot I had to tie my light cube up to a string line and drop it in to illuminate the rock pool. It's a commonly swam in spot at low tide, and people often jump off the rock to the left in to this deep rock pool. A local hidden gem 👌 💎 📸: nikon d850 🔭: Sigma 14mm f1.8 Tripod: Sirui w2204 #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #nostr #astro #australia #photo #astrophoto

Frozen in time. I took this shot after hiking out early before sunrise to get in position. The whole week had been foggy, making for moody scenes all over the mountain. #nostr #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #australia

One of my highlights of a recent trip to Darwin, Australia, was getting to do some astrophotography by the giant termite mounds. These things are incredible! Towering above me, it's mind boggling that they were built by tiny little ants. They can grow past 4m (!!!) and survive for over 100 years. Amazingly a 2m mound can be created in as little as 5 years, in which time the termites may shift as much as a quarter of a tonne of soil and several tonnes of water. 😯 This huge one lined up perfectly with the Milky Way core, which was super visible in the darkness of the Northern Territory. 📸: nikon d850 🔭: Sigma 14mm f1.8 Tripod: Sirui w2204 Lit by @lumecube #nostr #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #astro #photo
