It is 5am and a near-full moon is dropping to the western horizon; the land is dark and quiet. A generator rattles to life and artificial lights pierce the night. From horse floats and trucks emerge stockmen and women, snuggling into coats, collars raised against the settling frost. The predawn light rolls in, revealing grasslands, scattered trees and penned steers. Steaming coffee is downed as horses are caught and saddled.

Drew Barrymore for two minutes and 19 secondsNothing screams sincerity like Drew Barrymore’s tearful, two minute and 19 second apology for restarting her TV show during last year’s actors’ strike. Filmed with no makeup in her very expensive house, the exceedingly long video – starting with the now-iconic line “I believe there’s nothing I can do or say in this moment to make it OK” – was deleted days after it was posted following a torrent of social media backlash.

I’m not sure why I chose the middle of winter to set myself a seemingly impossible challenge: ditching the car to cycle from my home in Sydney’s inner west to the office 8km away, while dropping two young children at daycare en route. But as I strutted through the office doors after arriving at work on time, my feat felt so incredible, I half expected my colleagues to break into applause.

On a distant reef 16,000km from Paris, surfer Gabriel Medina has given Olympic viewers one of the most memorable images of the Games yet, with an airborne celebration so well poised it looked too good to be true. The Brazilian took off a thundering wave at Teahupo’o in Tahiti on Monday, emerging from a barrelling section before soaring into the air and appearing to settle on a Pacific cloud, pointing to the sky with biblical serenity, his movements mirrored precisely by his surfboard.

Leigh Scully looks to her husband, and asks: “Have you been enjoying singing, darling?”“Music. Music. Music. I love it,” Peter Scullysays, with a smile and a drumbeat between each word. Peter, who is living with dementia, fell in love with the Everly Brothers when he was a young teen. “When they were in Australia, I snuck over to my uncle’s so I could get into the …” He stalls over the word.

Two reasons: it is very far away and unless you have a telephoto lens (which makes the moon appear closer than it is) it will always appear as a very small glowing dot in the frame. So can you use your smartphone camera? The short answer is yes, but I would suggest downloading an app and shooting the moon through that instead of using the camera that is on the iPhone or Android. Some apps allow you to increase your sensitivity rating, allowing you to shoot in low light.

Two reasons: it is very far away and unless you have a telephoto lens (which makes the moon appear closer than it is) it will always appear as a very small glowing dot in the frame. Secondly, shooting at night is really difficult. Professional cameras allow you to change your ISO or your sensitivity rating which means you can shoot in low light situations without losing the quality of the image. So can you use your smartphone camera?
