Well, first I must apologise that I have not had the opportunity to add an entry for a couple of weeks, and second, I must apologise that I still haven’t got time to update you all now. I have in short been extremely busy working, taking photos and working on some new graphic design projects.
But just to keep everyone interested I did manage to go out and take some of my most successful night time imagery yet, here are the results.
The night skies the past two weeks have been breathtaking. For the shot below I left home around 10.30pm and drove to Sandy Bay. I knew it would be magical as I drove down the narrow steep rode that leads to the bay. The smell of flowers were heavy on the air. Leaving the car I walked, in absolute darkness down to the bay. Above me, a million billion stars in an endless sky, the milky way clearly visible stretching across the sky and marking the entrance to the bay. I lay motionless, listening to the sound of the waves, and frogs ribbiting in the back ground. The air was still, not the slightest breeze. I was alone, on planet earth, but one could not help thinking something, or someone else must be out there in the countless planets that surround us. It was magical.
Amazing pictures – thank you so much for sharing them.
And Happy Saint Helena Day!

We forgive you Paul! Thank you for some magical photographs. I swam at Sandy Bay in October 2011 and lost one of my beach shoes in the powerful currents. Not recommended mind you. Sandy Bay all to yourself is a wonderful and truly unforgettable experience.

Thank you so much. Lots of work went into this one. Its actually 18 photographs stitched together with flash on the foreground and secondary exposures for the back ground. It still doesn’t do justice to how amazing it was that night down there
