Do you gaze up at the night sky with wonder? What about looking up at the stars and thinking, how old that light you are seeing is? Maybe you watch as day and night morph into one, and the stars come out to play. This meetup is going to cover off everything you need to know to start capturing amazing single shot astrophotography and a few extra bits of helpful advice. The learnt basics of capturing a single frame will form the building blocks of your astrophotography journey. Think of this meetup as your first step on that journey or for those who have already started, maybe a road sign. Astrophotography looks amazing and packs a real punch, however, you do not need to spend a fortune to partake. Does gear make a difference, the simple answer is yes, but it is not the deciding factor when it comes to astrophotography. This meetup will look at planning your session, camera settings, required equipment. I want this meetup to help you maximise your current gear as your start capturing milky way shots.

    The Gnarly Tree - Adaminaby. This weathered, gnarly tree caught my eye on the shores of Lake Eucumbene near Adaminaby, NSW. Twisted and resilient, it stands alone in an open field?its form shaped by years of wind, drought, and time. There's something deeply captivating about its raw beauty and stoic presence a living sculpture that tells a silent story of endurance and strength in the high country landscape.
