I took my new little car out of Canberra and into Namadgi National park in hopes of taking a picture of the night sky without light pollution. Even after getting about 70km (as the bird flies) you can still see the light in the photos. You could see it with the naked eye but not like in the photos. All in all was a good trip out. got a few more km on the little car and I got to spend a little bit of time practicing photography. That being said I realized that I have forgotten a lot of things while out there. What settings to be on and such. I will be more prepared next time as I am sorting through my camera bag as I type. Will also be throwing some flash into the mix next time, I hope anyway.

So here is the picture that I was somewhat happy with by the end. Hope you enjoy it as well. Best viewed in full screen with the lights turned off. (click on picture to go to picture site, click on picture again once there)
