I spent the Chrismas camping on the Neck campground, Bruny Island. It was a lovely situated campground, with both water and pit toilets. So a luxury place to have some days off at.
Didn't do much cycling around the Island, just went to Adventure bay 12 km south and back. The rest of the time I spent around the Neck. Couldn't really fall a sleep one of the nights and when it was a clear night I decided to go out to take some photos. Had been carrying a tripod (+1 kg) for four months without hardly using it. So it was about time to test it.
Never tried taking photos at night time before and as you can't see what you are aiming the lens at it's a bit of try and error. When it's so little light you have to use long shutter times too. I used between 2 and 15 minutes shutter speed. This means you can't take many photos in an hour. And it's a bit boring also just standing in the dark waiting for the shot.... After two hours of photographing I felt ready to hit the bed again. This is the result from the night session. I'm happy with the results and it gives a different view compared to the day shots.
