Crux, the Southern Cross, at top, and the Pointer Stars, at bottom, over the Pacific Ocean in deep blue twilight from the Smoky Cape Lighthouse viewpoint. The Milky Way is just visible. The globular cluster Omega Centauri is at left. This is a single exposure for 5 seconds at f/2 and ISO 6400 with the 35mm lens and Canon 6D.
Beams from the Smoky Cape Lighthouse in the twilight sky, beaming out beside the stars of the Southern Cross and the Pointers (Alpha and Beta Centauri) below, rising into the southeast sky in the deepening blue twilight. The Lighthouse is near South West Rocks on Trial Bay on the coast of NSW, Australia. The lighthouse has a pattern of three closely spaced beams followed by a longer gap. The lenses project three sets of three beams, one set shooting here toward the camera, and two others shooting away from the camera out to sea. This is a single 0.6-second exposure at f/2.8 with the 35mm lens and Canon 6D at ISO 6400.
The Southern Cross, Crux, and the Pointer Stars, Alpha and Beta Centauri, above in the moonlight of the waning gibbous Moon before dawn, from the Smoky Cape Lighthouse looking southwest, on the coast of New South Wales, Australia. The Cape was named by James Cook in 1770 for the fires he saw on shore here. This is a single 5-second exposure at f/2.8 with the 35mm lens and Canon 6D at ISO 1000.
