MOONRISE OVER SLIPPER ISLAND by Paul C Schrader.
“The Coromandel is a great place for astrophotography, and Pauanui has
been designed for viewing the stars – street lighting has been purposely
limited to overcome light pollution. As an amateur still learning the finer
details, it is great to live in an area within walking distance to photograph
the Milky Way, the stars and Moon. The Milky Way makes you realise
how insignificant we are...how it relates to the Moon, how it relates to our
earth’s rotation and the other planets and stars.”
Photo specs on above photo for those interested parties: 17mm on a Canon 5dii, 30 second
exposure, 2.8f/s, 3200iso, 2 flashes of speed light, NiSi Natural Light filter
View Paul’s prints at the Post Plus shop in the Pauanui Shopping Centre, or see his photos
on ‘Creative Images by Paul C Schrader’ on Instagram and Facebook.
Attend Paul’s Astro Photography Workshop with the Whitianga Camera Club on 14 July. Also
join him and the Pauanui Photography Club. Contact Paul about either at 0274 988016.
“In this shot,
I was trialling
a new filter
(Natural Light)
– capturing the
Moon rising
over Slipper
Island, before
the Milky
Way is over-
polluted with
light from the
Moon. I used
a speed light
to highlight the
tree.”
– Paul Schrader
