Cool photos. I like dusk. Photos before or at night, they’re special because I like the orange tone of the artificial lights.

I do too and rarely get a chance to take these because I’m not often in the city at dusk and where I live there is no street lighting at all.

What I find interesting… Here in Lübeck, my living room window faces the direction of Hamburg. I usually see a huge light dome at night in that direction. I’m not kidding. Some days without clouds, it’s clearly visible. You can see the light pollution of Hamburg in the sky. I tried to photograph it, but it doesn’t work. Maybe it would work better with an extreme wide-angle lens. But that dome is just super wide, so that it might be difficult to photograph what is clearly visible with the naked eye.

Wow it must be really bright there. One thing I like about living in the country is that with so little lighting you can see the stars so much better. I haven’t managed to photograph the night sky successfully but it is amazing.

Yes, I can imagine that. I actually saw a documentary about light pollution once. They talked about this. It was interesting. They also said there are still dark places, but generally, it’s even there a lot brighter compared to what darkness meant to be several hundreds years ago, because the lights of large cities, even if far away, are even polluting the environment of nearby villages or places. So, darkness just got brighter.
But I’m sure you have a really good place for star photography. I’d try this! I see you’re 600km away from Melbourne (bird route), that’s a lot. I’d think it must be a lot darker over there compared to our places where there are just short distances between cities, towns and villages.

Hobart is 60km away but it is a small city of sbouy 220,000 people and there are no high rise buildings to speak of so I don’t think there is much light pollution from there especially as Mt Wellington is between Hobart and the Huon Valley.
