After the Awabakal sunrise field trip last Saturday, Sheepie and I headed up to Birddog's Boat Harbour holiday house and went on a sunset shoot with Birddog, & LostDingo. The shots below are my pick of the ones I took. We were extremely lucky to have a particularly good sunset.

Nice work there Peter. My favourite is definately No2. Lovely image.

love number 2, but think you could improve it by removing the contrail across the centre.

Beautiful, simply beautiful

I think that the contrail adds to the image.

Stubbsy, the second one really has the full range of contrast!

Best yet is how often do we get to take a sunset over the water on the east coast :?:

Peter, these are bloody great mate beautiful and well #2 does it for me.
I think that jet trail sets this pic out the most very deep and rich on colour and if i had to frame 1 that would be it. Well done mate i love it.

I expect to see #2 printed on A3 by the weekend Peter - and then printed poster size and hung on your wall!

Peter
Very skilfull work. These should be offered to the local tourist board for sale. I never tire looking at land/sea scapes of this calibre.

Beautiful set of images Peter but #2 steals the show great composition, colour contrast and exposure great! On this ocassion, i can't believe i'm saying this :shock:

, the contrail does add to the image, a point of interest that separates it from the cliches. Terrific image peter.

cheers

Great work Peter, I suspect these are all worthy of a place in one of your momento books, or at least #2 it just stunning!

Thanks for your comments. My personal favourite of these is #2. I think the contrail makes this, but understand why some may prefer to clone it out. I have been to this spot on four occasions and this has been the best photographically. The challenge was whittling down the number of keepers.

Craig - this is in my Momento book. Should have that finished by Friday (in time for Christmas, just). Hard part is keeping the cost down. I reckon my A3 book will cost something like $150 :shock:

Lovely Peter, just lovely.
#2 is great, but I think I like #3 more. It's a bit haunting and wistful.

Great stuff. Will you be able to bring the momento book to the mini meet?

I have an A4 Momento book I did as a test and will bring it on Saturday. It has less pics than my final one.

Great shots Peter,

you just keep putting them out

As most, #2 is my fav and I like the contrail in it.

In #3, your horizon doesn't look straight, in case you wanted know :wink:

Thanks for sharing,

André

#2 is fantastic. The way the blue bleeds into the orange is rather like a Rothko painting. Looking forward to shooting with you again sometime soon!

Taro

Thanks for the comment. Not knowing who Rothko is I'm guessing this is a compliment :wink:
