Flinders Bay Jetty

Location Details

Scroll to bottom of page for images and posts

linders Bay jetty is located north-east of the Cape Leeuwin lighthouse. There are a couple of jetties in this bay, with a park behind them providing some distance between the jetties and neighbouring houses. At night time the houses cast a pale light over the jetties and the waters, however the skies are dark enough to bring out the bright Milkyway core (not so sure about the anti-core region - the skies may be too bright).

I had never intended to do nightscape photography in this location - it was a detour when my trip to shoot the Cape Leeuwin lighthouse ended in disappointment (the lighthouse has an issue that the source light isn't just projected as beams overhead, but also an omni-direction light that quickly saturates any long exposure imaging).
