Comet from Melbourne
Taken at Werribee Sth beach. Thursday night.
Mike,
I think these are pretty good. I was intending to get down to Werribee Sth myself to try and see the comet, but haven't made it yet. What is the exif data please? Approx what time did you take these? Were you facing towards the You Yangs? Thanks Russell
The last one is kind of X-files-ish with your shadow on the beach looking like an alien apparition of something
 Pretty cool effect.Steve.

Russell,
These pics where taken between 10:00 and 11:00pm. I had to wait until the last glow had gone out of the south horizon to show the comet clearly. ISO was mostly 400 to 800, with an apeture of f4 to f5.6 and shutter speeds of 1/4 to 30 sec's. I started with 800 ISO f4 at 1/15 and bracketed up and down from there. Lens on my D70 was Nikon 28 to 80 zoom. It's actually hard to see the comet through the viewfinder, I mostly spotted its position with the naked eye in relation to other land features, then framed accordingly. The You Yangs where off to the right of the frame. If the comet was at my 12 o'clock the the YY's would have been at around 2 or 3 o'clock. Last night was 100% clear sky giving a great view. Can anyone tell me if the comet actually gets close to the horizon? If it does them I'm guessing its in the very early hours of the morning 
Koala, I actually took this shot first making sure I stood with my shadow out of frame, but then decided to take one showing my shadow. The idea being to show "space", "sea", "land", "man". Mike.
Mike, I was down at Sandringham until about 1130 and it was pretty close to the horizon by then. I would have stayed if my battery hadn't run out

Come follow the rabbit hole...
