@Thom_astro @DallOlmoPhoto @mrcnzajac Thanks :)

@TimCaseyRE Ah, thank you!

For those that know me on a more personal level, they know how much the act of photography has been instrumental in keeping me sane. During my burn out it pained me that the thing that I couldnt do it

I can't put into words how good it feels to be back to creating.

@nateinthewild Disappointing

Last night I watched a good video about the overvisitation of the USA's big national parks, driven by big budget tourism campaigns and social media.

The crux of the issue?

"Today an increasing number of people are going outside not to get lost or to explore, but to be seen."

@cathsimard_ Yeah trees are an absolute nightmare. I've had luck with using the background eraser tool to refine a mask further but you inevitably have to clean up the stupid little bits

[Kavan @ChayPhotography]

@debc_nz @sloika Congrats!

[Kavan @ChayPhotography]

@ambergjones @cathsimard_ 100% agree. It's an absolute disgrace that companies are even allowing this.

@rachstewart_nz Happy birthday!

[Kavan @ChayPhotography]

@debc_nz Yeah, she was so supportive in the general photography community. I regret not actually meeting in person when I had the chance, she was talking to me for the Winterstellar stuff she helped run. Sing out if you ever need to chat

[Kavan @ChayPhotography]

@Chris_AG_Watson Thanks man!

Kia ora. Here's an #astrophotography #hiking pic from a climb that took me 15 hours and 32km of walking with 25kg on my back. Gotta love the grind to get to some NZ's best views.

The law of detachment

1/ as we experience solar max and an increased chance of aurora viewing for more of the population, I hope it widens the conversation on dark sky preservation. I’m sure many people who attempted to view the northern lights at the weekend had a tough time due to light pollution

[Kavan @ChayPhotography]

@shadowanshadenz Gotta love nights like those hey, long run of them is always fun

[Kavan @ChayPhotography]

Back again to stick this one up for people to see. Had a weekend of killer skies, super exciting stuff. Aurora, Milky Way, some cool galaxies... all that you want in astrophotography. Hope you enjoy this one 🙂
