Star Navigation.

It all seems like a great idea from the comfort of the car, but then you get out there and its dark, cold and in this case.. just down right sandy and I think, seriously?

To top it all off navigating sand dunes in the dark is pretty hard, whilst I could just use my GPS or phone, I elected to use stars, so I picked one particular bright one that was close to the dune exit point and followed it.. needless to say.. i did find my way out eventually πŸ™‚ albeit with shoes full of sand and almost going head first off a rather large dune drop off in the dark πŸ™‚

I think I like this one better than the last – without even realising it i caught a bunch of birds flying past (no AI generated birdies here πŸ˜‰ )
Somewhere out near Tarana which is kinda close to Cooma.
Its probably a nice Airbnb, but i reckon a tree or two would not go astray πŸ™‚

North Rams head in the background and some crazy balancing rocks.

I only took 2 lens on this trip, mainly to reduce some weight – which was offset by the fact that someone left a 1/2kg rock in my bag from the last camping trip :-/ now some dude 1000 years from now is gonna find a river stone up in the snowy mountains and it’s gonna spin them right out πŸ™‚

This lens is the 14mm and I did a fair few super wide pano shots, this one was 5 shots (180 degree FOV) which turned out alright.

What did the engineer say after getting hit by a sound wave?
