Returned from Kosciuszko National Park yesterday, where I spent a few days and nights backpacking. For a New Years Eve celebration, we stayed near Blue Lake, one of the five glacier lakes in the park, 1997 meters above the sea level, under billions of stars. Photograph above was shot soon after we finished celebrating New Year with Ilya Genkin.

Happy New Year!

With this special winter holidays edition of the monthly calendar wallpaper I’d like to thank you, my reader, for all that support and interest in my photography you gave me over this year! Thank you, I do really appreciate it!

In the coming year, I wish you all the best, lots of journeys and many-many new discoveries! Should you find yourself stuck in the office dreaming about holidays, put this wallpaper on your computer desktop and let these dogs pull you through sad office days to your next travel destination!

If everything goes well, by the end of tomorrow, me and my wife will be enjoying Glögi and Northern Lights somewhere close to the Arctic circle in Lapland. We will have a 2 hour day, 5 hours of combined dusk and dawn (photographer’s dream???), and many many dark hours to hunt Aurora Borealis.

This freezing-cold wallpaper has nothing to do with where I’m going now and features image from a completely different part of our little planet – New Zealand. I hope it will help my Australian readers to survive summer.

I’ve been doing lots of testing of my time-lapse gear all week and Sydney Harbour Bridge became a subject of the first real field test. I should say that it was an interesting experience to stand there with two large tripods, two cameras and with stack of filters attached to both cameras. The whole set up was looking very serious. Unfortunately, I’ve identified a few issues with mechanical part of my DIY motorised panning tripod head, so I have nothing worth demonstrating at the moment, hopefully it will be fixed this week. On the positive side, it was a long process, so I had plenty of time to take pictures as well.

P.S. Just realised that I haven’t been shooting Sydney attractions for ages, almost forgot how good they are. Need to go out more often …
