Imposter Syndrome - a photo on Flickriver

Imposter Syndrome

            I’ve been wowed by the hundreds (thousands, more likely) of photos online in the past few days, showing the beauty of the major auroral event last Sunday night, 5/6 November. As per most Sunday nights, I was at home in Australia’s largest capital city, Sydney, with no view to the south and lots of light pollution, so I missed out on the skyborne light show.

My photo today isn’t, sadly, from that auroral display. My shot was taken during a similar event in April of 2023. Call me an imposter for jumping on the Aurora bandwagon, but I had no other images to post. I captured this scene at the Blue Pool, one of the tourist attractions of Bermagui, on the southeast coast of Australia.

The photo is a single exposure, shot with my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera and a Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 lens @ f/4.0, using an exposure time of 5 seconds @ ISO 6400.
