Morning Stars and the Morning Star

            I shot today’s photo fourteen months ago, long before my city of Sydney, Australia, went into our longest and toughest COVID lockdown. It lifts my soul to look at photographs and recall the beauty that’s waiting beyond our metropolis, leaving me longing for when we can travel to our country’s beautiful rural areas and once again see the people and places that we miss.

My photo shows the Pleiades, the planet Venus–the Morning Star–and the Hyades in Taurus, plus the familiar outline of the constellation Orion rising over Coila Lake at Tuross Head, New South Wales, Australia. The hint of peachy colour on the horizon foretells the imminent beginning of another day in paradise.

This single-frame photograph was captured using my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera, fitted with a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art lens @ f/2.8, using an exposure time of 5.0 seconds @ ISO 800.
