Have you ever seen a ghost mushroom? Utilising bioluminescence, one of nature's coolest phenomenon, these glow for several nights once they bloomed and can be quite bright! This patch was bright enough for me to read my wristwatch by their light only. #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #australia #photo #nostr

Proud to have gotten through several rounds of short-listing to be a finalist in the 2024 wilderness photographer of the year for two categories! Hoping to build on the momentum of 2024 where I've won several awards and otherwise done quite well in competitions to go even further and happy to share my journey with my fellow ostriches! #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #australia #photo

When the sky went BOOM! We had some recent storms in my area with the most lightning strikes I've ever seen. Easily the best storm we've had in terms of a light show in the last two decades. I managed to get around to the side of it to take some shots. This is what happened over a 10 minute period at the peak of the storm. Bolts coming down at crazy intervals in multiples with flashes of lighting crawling across the sky. Mind blowing how many sky to ground strikes there were! 📸: nikon d850 🔭: Sigma 24-70mm 10 min exposure time #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #australia #photo #nostr

Happy New Year #nostr! What an amazing year it has been. From once in a lifetime aurora's gracing our skies to #bitcoin running up to 100k. Here's to many more good times ahead 🍻 6s exposure 📸: nikon d850 🔭: Sigma 14mm f1.8 Tripod: Sirui w2204 #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #australia #photo

Adult Lily walker/Jesus bird. Check out the size of those feet! I also love the colour around the eyes. Very cool birds, and a lot of fun to watch as they walk around the lily pads. #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #australia #photo #nostr #animal #bird

I spent ages checking out this baby Jacana and it's sibling. Incredible birds, they're also known as lily walkers or jesus birds due to having huge feet that allow them to walk amongst the lilies with ease. #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #nostr #australia #photo

@Lyn Alden has written such a fantastic book, I've been buying them for Christmas presents this year. Should be required reading in schools! What other books do you guys recommend on the history of money / macroeconomics? #BrokenMoney #nostr #AUStriches #asknostr

The Lagoon. To take this shot I had to tie my light cube up to a string line and drop it in to illuminate the rock pool. It's a commonly swam in spot at low tide, and people often jump off the rock to the left in to this deep rock pool. A local hidden gem 👌 💎 📸: nikon d850 🔭: Sigma 14mm f1.8 Tripod: Sirui w2204 #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #nostr #astro #australia #photo #astrophoto

Frozen in time. I took this shot after hiking out early before sunrise to get in position. The whole week had been foggy, making for moody scenes all over the mountain. #nostr #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #australia

One of my highlights of a recent trip to Darwin, Australia, was getting to do some astrophotography by the giant termite mounds. These things are incredible! Towering above me, it's mind boggling that they were built by tiny little ants. They can grow past 4m (!!!) and survive for over 100 years. Amazingly a 2m mound can be created in as little as 5 years, in which time the termites may shift as much as a quarter of a tonne of soil and several tonnes of water. 😯 This huge one lined up perfectly with the Milky Way core, which was super visible in the darkness of the Northern Territory. 📸: nikon d850 🔭: Sigma 14mm f1.8 Tripod: Sirui w2204 Lit by @lumecube #nostr #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #astro #photo

Hi #nostr, can anyone help me out please? I'm trying to figure out how to get myself nostr verified and have the domain be my website which is a squarespace hosted one. I've looked at the online tutorials which all talk about creating a json file to upload but don't believe squarespace allow this. Is there any way to have my verified address be @rwphotos.com.au? #asknostr #AUStriches

Rabbit Rock, under the stars. A 3 minute tracked shot. My favourite thing to shoot is the stars. There's nothing better than setting my gear up and then sitting and watching the world turn.. #photography #photostr #AUStriches #art #nostr #astro
