G'day All, Took this a few months ago but have just this weekend got around retouching it (~160kb)
<http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2119/2481946623_1e672bebcc_o.jpg> <http://flickr.com/photos/disavage/2481946623/> K10D, DA* 16-50mm f2.8 @ 16mm, 969 seconds @ f4, ISO 100, slight amount of reflected red gelled flash, lots of spotting in PS. Taken at "The Pinnacles", Nambung National Park, Western Australia, looking just east of the celestial south pole. Now to explain the title (if it's already apparent to you, carry one with whatever else you have to do today :-). For those familiar with the Australian, and various other southern hemisphere nations, flags the Southern Cross constellation (officially known as Crux) is the crucifix pattern of stars featured on the right hand side of the .au flag (5 stars make up the constellation). It's the brightest constellation in the southern sky & is easily seen even in the city.. If you aren't familiar with the pattern, or just can't see it, look about halfway between the horizon & top of frame. Just left of centre you should see 4 trails that look a bit like a crucifix on its side (with the long edge pointing to the right). That's the Southern Cross. Anyway enough of the astronomy lesson. I thought it looked kinda' cool :-) As always any & all comments welcome.
