Honoured and humbled to have my image on the front cover of December-January 2025 Australian Photography magazine, and if you’re curious, there’s a little interview inside about my favourite astro focal length (and honestly, most of my photography)

Besides the usual magic of the Milky Way, Saturday night we were treated to a bit of a surprise, an appearance from the Aurora Australis, subtle, but unmistakably there.

Nothing to see here, just a usual night sky in Canberra.

Insane rainbow appeared out of nowhere over Gungahlin this afternoon.
I was out riding my bike with my daughter, spotted it, and we both just stopped… one of those “wow” moments.
Look at those colours… unreal!
#Canberra did anyone else see it?

[Ari Rex @ari_rex]

@PaulGoldEagle Meteors are much faster and they burn out quickly, this same to be space debries, much bigger and slower, or aliens :)

Best Skyfire Canberra has seen yet? 💥 I think so!
Pick your favourite picture, I struggled to even choose a top 10.
I posted another 50 images on my Facebook page if you are curious to see more! ✨

@Knhum_ @jamescfox I would also add the Westall incident in kids school in Melbourne, these three and roswell are the top

Posted an Aurora Australis timelapse over Canberra the other day and somehow the soundtrack is getting a lot of love. Made it months ago just playing around late at night. If you’re curious, have a listen ☺️

A spectacular display of the Aurora Australis exploded across the Canberra skies in glowing pinks last night.
I couldn’t resist sharing these before heading to bed.
Did you see it, or capture it yourself?

A mini storm rolled in last night and a bigger one is supposed to blast today over #Canberra like nature was calling me to post this lightning shot, synchronicity ✨🔥
This image still brings back massive memories. Bring on the storms, stars & fireworks 👀⚡🎇

That monster storm cell definitely gave us a moment 😅
But as always, the beast arrived with a bit of beauty, sunlight breaking through at just the right time, revealing a magnificent double rainbow. You’ll need to look closely to spot parts of the second arch.
