Reposted from @jpdpro_photography Well it's been a long time between drinks so to speak but here I am....tumour free 😊. Taking it step by step at this stage focusing on recovery after putting my body through the ringer for the last 5mths in chemotherapy and operation. Thankfully the latest scans have shown all those troublesome tumours gone. Sunday night I pushed myself to head out to Shelly Beach on the Sunshine Coast and have a red hot go at capturing my first images of the milky way core this season. Conditions were near perfect in the sky but I forgot to check the tides 🤦♂️. Huge waves were crashing along the rocky shelf and swallowing up most of the beach and access around the headland. Nevertheless I persevered and found myself a nice big rock to keep myself and equipment dry while I tried to remember how to take a photo 😂. I hope you like the end product and I look forward to being a little more active as I rebuild strength. Taken with the Sony A73 and Tamron 17-28mm lens. Image consists of 10 shots stacked to help provide more detail in the Milky Way, all taken at iso 3200, 20sec exposures, f/2.8. . . #milkywaychasers #BeAlpha #tamronaustralia #SonyAustralia #sonya7iii #tamron1728 #visitsunshinecoast #thisisqueensland #sunshinecoast #astrophotography #nightphotography #longexposure_shots #longexpoelite #night_excl #tv_astro_ (em Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKfgWxJDkhd/?igshid=lv5gupl83kzr
