Had a lovely pastel sunrise this morning. Shot this image from the step of our caravan

Rising Marbles

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S @ 70 mm, 1/80 sec at f/4, ISO 220

Pastel Dawn

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S @ 70 mm, 1/80 sec at f/4, ISO 140

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.

And of course spun up the drone for a higher level view of sunrise at the marbles

Sunrise at the Marbles

DJI Mavic 2 Pro L1D-20c + 28.0 mm f/2.8 @ 10.26 mm, 1/320 sec at f/4, ISO 100

Crumbling Links

NIKON Z 7 + 14.0 mm f/2.4 @ 14 mm, 15 sec at f/2.4, ISO 6400 x 12 Frames

One more epic double row milky way panorama to end the night at Devils Marbles…

Splitting Marbles

NIKON Z 7 + 14.0 mm f/2.4 @ 14 mm, 15 sec at f/2.4, ISO 6400 x 5 Frames

Another location, another composition, another 5 frames shot vertically

Slicing the Boulder

NIKON Z 7 + 14.0 mm f/2.4 @ 14 mm, 15 sec at f/2.4, ISO 6400 x 5 Frames

I’d learnt my lesson from my previous shoot with vertical panoramic frames with the 14mm. This time I was using 10 click stops (36˚ increments) instead of 45˚ increments (8 click stops) with the pano rig

What you see here is pretty much the entire horizon to horizon (180˚) span of the milky way viewed vertically

Unfortunately some cloud moving in so I’d better finish up soon…

Snowy Milk

NIKON Z 7 + 14.0 mm f/2.4 @ 14 mm, 15 sec at f/2.4, ISO 6400 x 4 Frames

One of these lovely snowy gums right next to one of the marble shaped boulders. An ideal subject to include into a vertical panoramic composition

Again the Novoflex panorama rails makes this easy with it’s vertical click stops and the camera setup for horizontal captures
