Beautiful ongoing project by Russian artist Leonid Tishkov and photographer Boris Bendikov.
“Private Moon” is a visual poem telling the story of a man who met the Moon and stayed with her for the rest of his life.
“Each photograph is a poetic tale, a little poem in its own right. Therefore each picture is accompanied by my own verse, which I wrote when I drew my sketches for the photographs. So it turns out that the Moon overcomes our loneliness in the universe uniting many of us around it.” - Leonid Tishkov

Extremely long exposure: Photographer endures 15-hour shoots in the wintry Australian outback to snare stunning images of star trails in the night sky
Australian photographer Lincoln Harrison’s photographs of star trails in the Australian night sky. These long-exposure shots were taken over the course of 15 hours! Not only did these shots require a lot of patience but they also required a great deal of stamina.
In order to take these shots, Harrison had to withstand Australia’s cold winter night near Bendigo over Lake Eppalock. Harrison describes his experience saying, “It was a grueling night with a total shooting time was 15 hours in freezing conditions, sunset to sunrise.”

The Ever-Gorgeous Aurora Australis (Southern Lights)
This short-yet-mesmerising video of the Aurora Australis, captured from the International Space Station as it orbited 320km above Australia and New Zealand, shows that Earth is more than willing to put on a show for our off-planet explorers.
