Photographer Eddie Griffiths took some extraordinary shots from Flat Hill Wind Farm in Bluff, New Zealand.

With formal permission to shoot from the wind farm, Griffiths was able to catch a faint Aurora Australis whilst looking for the Milky Way.

A faint Aurora Australis was visible at the Flat Hill Wind Farm in Bluff at the weekend.

Griffiths used a mobile app called PhotoPills to work out the time when the moon and Milky Way would appear behind the turbines.

“I was really up there to shoot the Milky Way and managed to get a faint Aurora Australis,” he told The Southland Times.

“I was up there just after sunset on Saturday night and I’m pleased at how the pictures came out,” he said.
