25.01.2022 Not the best shot I have ever taken but proof that Comet Neowise exists from the southern hemisphere. Hopefully I can get some better tracked shots over the next few nights in better conditions. Taken at Toomulla Beach north of Townsville with a group of other photographers who hopefully got some good shots. It was a great evening out with like minded people . . . #cometneowise #astrophotography #comet #onceinalifetime

22.01.2022 I was down at Cape Cleveland tonight shooting some astro and nek minit I got a notification that the ISS was passing overhead in a few minutes. It was a bright pass too so I madly rushed around and setup behind my car. The funky light flare sort of suits the galactic theme I reckon Blend of 7 shots for the ISS path. . . . #iss #spacestation #capecleveland #astrophotography #triton4x4

17.01.2022 Sunset last night from Towers Hill. Stay tuned for some astro shots. Conditions last night were really good and it was a bit chilly! . . . #charterstowers #thisisqueensland #towershill #getoutbacktocharterstowers

17.01.2022 **Orion Nebula** Before the wet season set in I was spending a bit of time using my telescope targeting deep space objects, mainly around the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction but also looking at other things in our night sky. This sequence was shot when out at Mingela where the skies are a bit darker away from the city light pollution. It comprises 20x 30sec exposures at ISO1600 and also 10x dark frames for noise reduction all captured with a Canon 6D Mk2 full frame camera. I used... Deepskystacker to blend the light and dark frames then it was edited in Adobe Photoshop. This type of photography is a whole new ballgame and is next level to get anything decent. I'm pretty happy with this and looking forward to good conditions again where I can look at other targets. In this shot you can also see the Running Man Nebula below and left of Orion. . . . #orionnebula #astrophotography #deepspace #nightsky #canonaustralia #vixentelescopes See more

17.01.2022 Tonight's moon. 71.2% waxing gibbous (phase). Captured with a Vixen ED80sf telescope, 2x barlow adaptor and a Canon 5DSR full frame camera (50mp). Image is not cropped. With the moon almost straight up and nice clear skies, seeing was very good to see all the details in the lunar landscape. . .... . #moon #lunar #nightskies #canonaustralia #vixen See more

15.01.2022 Keeping with the night sky theme, here's a re-edit of when Comet Neowise was in our evening sky in July last year. The southern hemisphere missed the best of this awesome comet but hopefully another good one will be along soon. Captured from Saunders Beach north of Townsville. . . .... #cometneowise #astrophotography #nightsky #canonaustralia See more

14.01.2022 With all this unseasonal rain around I thought I would reshare a photo from a couple of years back when ex Tropical Cyclone Owen was dumping a ton of rain on Townsville creating this moody scene. I'm loving this mini wet in July, hope you are getting some liquid gold at your place too! . . . #townsvilleshines #wetjuly #winterrain #thisisqueensland

14.01.2022 A couple of drone shots from the dam this evening. Nice flood water reflections and a sneaky sunset rainbow.

12.01.2022 I love photographing the night sky around the twin bridges over the mighty Burdekin River at Macrossan. Here's a few from earlier in the week when I was out there for a private workshop. My next Charters Towers workshop is sold out but I have plenty of vacancies for the 27Oct.

11.01.2022 I captured this awesome sun halo a few years back out near Carnarvon Gorge in central Queensland. They are caused by ice crystals in very high cirrus cloud. This is pretty much how the shot came out of the camera, just a levels adjustment and a bit of a crop. . . .... #weather #outbackqueensland #bom #sunhalo See more

11.01.2022 Moonnrise at The Rockpool this evening. Still testing the amazing capabilities of the EOS R5. This was shot at 200mm with a shutter speed of 1/8 of a second. Breaking my own rules I teach but it shows how good this camera is in low light and stable at lower shutter speeds and can still get a reasonable image. . . .... #canoneosr5 #moonrise #canonaustralia #townsvilleshines See more

10.01.2022 The Storm Bird or Pacific Koel. I have been wanting to get a good photo of one for a while now. They usually hide in the trees so hard to capture. This one was not happy today at the Palmetum with all the figbirds trying to steal his berries!

09.01.2022 The Charters Towers region is arguably one of the best areas for photography in North Queensland. I conducted 2 successful workshops in the area last year and I have 2 this year also plus one at Ravenswood. My first Charters Towers workshop is coming up on the 25th of July and there is only one spot left!! Come along for a fun afternoon/evening of landscape and astrophotography. More details are available on my website under the "Photography Workshops" tab. Email or message me if you have any questions. . . . #photographyworkshops #outbackqueensland #charterstowers #philcoppphotos @ Charters Towers, Queensland

09.01.2022 A couple of favs straight from the camera of the 8pm fireworks display at Riverway.

09.01.2022 Last night one of the best night sky events of our time occurred with the great conjunction of the two biggest "Gas Giant" planets, Jupiter and Saturn. At just 1/10th of a degree apart, this hasn't happened for over 400 years and over 800 years at night. Whilst they seemed close, in reality they are still hundreds of millions of kms apart. I wanted to capture this with my telescope but had some issues which prevented me from doing that so this shot is a single shot captured ...with the #canonaustralia EOS R5 and an EF100-400mm lens. I ventured out to the small town of Mingela just west of Townsville to get away from the coastal cloud. It was nice and clear and I also captured some good long exposures on the Orion Nebula which I will share once processed. . . . #nightsky #thegreatconjunction #jupitersaturn #astrophotography #eosr5 See more

09.01.2022 So the results came out yesterday for the annual Epson International Pano Awards. Overall I received two Silver awards which I have posted here. Both are drone shots from the flats at Cape Cleveland. I also received 6x Bronze awards which I pretty much rate as achieving professional standard. The standard of images every year is super high in this competition and the judging is becoming more critical and you have to have a high quality unique image to place highly. Given thi...s I am stoked for my two Silver awards. This also drives me to ramp up the standard of my photography not just for landscape but for all my work and also to improve the delivery of my landscape photography workshops. Next year I am going to shoot specific projects for this comp and see how that goes. Finally if you want to see some amazing images google the pano awards and check out the top 50 photos in each category.

05.01.2022 A couple of shots of Comet Neowise taken from Saunders Beach on Sun evening. First is a blend of two shots to show a couple of meteors captured during shooting. The second is a stack of about 100 light frames and 20 dark frames to reduce noise. Dark sky would have been ideal as the crescent moon nearby made it hard to capture the best quality images. Still happy with the result though. Hopefully another comet like this will come along soon so we get a better view of it with the naked eye. . . . #cometneowise #astrophotography #nightsky @ Townsville, Queensland

05.01.2022 My second Charters Towers landscape photography workshop for the year was on the weekend just gone.

03.01.2022 I came back from Charters Towers this morning via Hervey Range. Out near Star River I went past a roadkill with a Wedge Tailed Eagle sitting on it having a feed. He stayed there so I turned around but wasnt hopeful of getting anything as they are such flighty birds. As I approached the one on the kill flew off but there were two others there also in the trees. This one was pretty close and he kindly gave me some time to get a few shots. Such a magical bird. . . . #wedgetailedeagle #birdofprey #birdsofinstagram #kingofthesky #wedgy #canonaustralia @ Hervey Range

02.01.2022 My camera tech got a huge boost today with the acquisition of the amazing new EOS R5 from @canonaustralia Coming from the workhorse 5D series this camera is a fantastic update and has very similiar menus and the usual Canon functions but with amazing new tech like advanced autofocus and face and animal detection and all in a small compact frame. Add things like a 45mp sensor, high speed frame rate and focus stacking and you have a camera with cutting edge technology plus the... usual Canon reliability. I'm excited for whats to come!
