This is the scene captured from our camp site in Kruger with the moon rising.

We did our best to get a shoot of the stars before the moon showed it self.

We had some time to shoot the stars before the moon rose

Half moon

I love shooting the moon

Starry reflection

Farm Fair Lawn in the Thabazimbi district is where I was for a few days. As it was new moon I thought an Astro shoot would be nice, but that did not work due to the light pollution. So I tried star reflections, reflecting from the farm dam (pond).

Maroela Night Sky

On a rocky hill in the Limpopo bushveld this lonesome Maroela tree made a nice silhouette.

Knob Thorn Starry night

This Knob thorn Acacia was the only object that I could use for a foreground. although that it was new mon and dark, the camera picked up the light pollution from the mines some thirty odd kilometers away.

Limpopo Milkyway

When sleep evades you, don't count sheep. Just take your camera and start shooting.

Combretum Park Stars

Combretum Park is where we did our nature and environment practical's. Apart from camping you could stay over in one of the chalets. there were no classes at night, so I stayed busy shooting stars.

Again being very lucky to be able to do a night shoot in Kruger National Park.

Night skies, Limpopo province

On a very cold winters night, Dave and I went out into the bush for a milky way shoot. In the back ground the glow o lights of the border post between South Africa and Botswana can be seen.
