Nice, love the sunset the best, and of coarse the others are equally effective, well done.

hey, thanks! you should see the full sized panoramas!!!! i didn't even have to go with HDR to make it look good! i just wish i'd got up at least a half hour earlier and had more time with it.
it was easily the most spectacular sunrise i have ever seen.

Beautiful work, Josh. Incredible pictures.

The first one would be even better with some selective contrast on the sky.

The sunrise shots are beautiful. Top stuff.

agreed, better contrast on the sky would have made it a thousand times better, i did do a bracketed shot in the hope of applying tone-mapping to it, but my hand wasn't quite steady enough to keep it still enough...i guess i can go and mess around with photoshop.

thanks for looking!

That panorama must have been a PITA to do, with the waves moving between sub-frames :)

Hi Josh,

Your shot of the Gold Coast and the cloud panorama are particularly dramatic.
Very nice!

Best Regards

heh, surprisingly, the sub-frames weren't all that bad with regards to the waves, i thought that the pano would turn out a whole lot worse than it actually did, all i can say is that autostitch is THE BEST pano stitching software out there!!

thanks guys! i'm glad you're enjoying them!
