About One Million

Mangroves are trees and shrubs that grow in saline coastal habitats in the tropics and subtropics. The saline conditions tolerated by various species range from brackish water, through pure seawater to water of over twice the salinity of ocean seawater, where the salt has become concentrated by evaporation.

There are many species of trees and shrubs adapted to saline conditions. Not all are closely related, and the term 'mangrove' may be used for all of them, or more narrowly only for the mangrove family of plants, the Rhizophoraceae, or even more specifically just for mangrove trees of the genus Rhizophora.

More than fifty species of Rhizophoraceae grow in Australasia, with particularly high biodiversity on the island of New Guinea and northern Australia.

Australia has approximately 11,500 km2 of mangroves primarily on the northern and eastern coasts of the continent, with occurrences as far south as Millers Landing in Wilsons Promontory, Victoria and Barker Inlet in Adelaide, South Australia.

    I agree on Kevin's opinion! The details of the tree and the sand are just unreal and of course the stars are doing the rest! Very well done!

    Very nice, I love these types of shots. One question, how did you know how to setup the shot so that you can place the "center" of the spin in a certain place, in this case, just behind the tree? It's awesome. You also controlled the ambient light very well.

    This is wonderful! The best star trails photo I've ever seen. Where on this planet did you capture it?

  43. Fadzly @ Shutterhack (55 months ago | reply)

    I often hear statement like this "Many of these images here are "postcards" (and not what I would consider art) because that's what visitors (tourists) like". What I normal reply to them is "Please don't be such a jealous jerk simply you cant produce something what most people like very much." I hope you got agree with me. :-)
