Absolutely biblical skies in Tasmania at 4am this morning. I’m leaving today and knew I could not pass up this opportunity for such a large solar storm. Here’s the image. I actually had to de-saturate the colours. Clouds glowing red. Insane. Shot on Nikon. Rt appreciated

I turn 29 today, been doing photography around 6 years now and this is probably still one of my favourite images to date. Tough to get creative at this iconic spot but the conditions on this particular evening were incredible. Almost a year to the day too! Have a good weekend 👌🏻
