The Hall and the Heavens - a photo on Flickriver

            This abandoned building is tagged on Google Maps as “Cullinga Hall/School?” So far, I’ve not found any further details of the building’s history, but it’s a very photogenic structure that posed nicely for me when I visited last Monday night, 13th November. Located in the Riverina District of New South Wales, Australia, the old hall isn’t far from the towns of Wallendbeen and Cootamundra, in an area that farms wheat, canola, cereal crops, sheep, wool, fat lambs and cattle.

The Large Magellanic Cloud was prominent in the sky, seen here at the top-right corner of my photo. The second-brightest star visible in our planet’s night skies, Canopus, was sending forth its photons and appears here down the centreline of the shot. Atmospheric airglow tinted the sky a lovely green hue, which looks like a colourful canvas sprinkled with stars, even though the stars are much further away in space.

I captured this shot with my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera and a Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 lens @ f/3.2, using an exposure time of 15 seconds @ ISO 6400, and I lit the foreground with two Lume Cube LED lamps.
