Hi everyone...
Well, I am back from an awesome road-trip that took us across 6 of South Africa's 9 provinces, covering about 3,500km in 9 days.
Haven't had time to process much but worked through this one on the road. This shot was taken VERY early one morning on South Africa's "Wild Coast". My attempts at capturing the Milky Way were thwarted by a persistently lingering full moon, so I tried something different. This was the view from a hill over the ocean as a bank of clouds was rolling in from the Indian Ocean before dawn, with the full moon behind me. I used my torch to add a little bit more illumination to the little acacia tree which was shorter than my waist-height.
Techs:
Canon 7D with 10-22mm USM @ 10mm
f5.6 @ 30s @ ISO-1250
