During a trip to Yallingup, Western Australia, I had the perfect clear night to capture the stars. This spot was within walking distance from the caravan park where I was staying and the foreground was softly illuminated by the park’s lights. The night was clear, still and calm - without the usual southern winds I knew I was going to have a good night shooting! I ended up spending about five hours experimenting with compositions, settings and techniques, something I had never had time to do before. It was a mindful experience in my astrophotography journey. During the shoot, I discovered a patch of wildflowers surrounded by small smooth pebbles and shells. The contrast - even with the dark sky - between the flowers, smooth rocks and the Milky-Way was perfection. Our southwest, including Yallingup feature beautiful smooth rock formations which is a treat compared to the rugger limestone of the Perth region. WildStars was recently a finalist in the 2024 Astrofest Astrophotography Competition here in Western Australia, held at Curtin University and organized in collaboration with the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR). WildStars is a real-world scene captured in a single frame. Perks: As the first collector, you will receive: An unframed professional print (approximately 40cm on its longest side) and a set of postcards featuring the image, perfect for sharing or displaying. Reminder: All my 1/1 NFTs are exclusively minted and will not be sold elsewhere. Thank you for supporting my passion. I hope you enjoy WildStars.
