Had some days off with family this week,stayed at Caloundra,across the

road from a park/beach called 'Happy Valley'.we only stayed 3 nights,i wanted to take a few pics with new L lenses.

Here is some of sunsets.I wanted to take phots at exact same location and time on different days to show the 'movement' of our sun,so there was a semi astronomy theme here!

Anyhow heres the results pic 1 taken at 6.39.34 18-1-10
pic 2 taken at 6.39.06 20-1-10

i wanted to show just how much the sun had changed set position,see trees as reference,in pic 2 closer to mountain,it doesnt seem much,but its noticeable.

pics taken with 400 prime no 2 and 5,others with 70-200

unfortunatly,no dramatic after sunset glow,but pleased it wasnt cloudy!

the locals said about 4 weeks ago some lovely sunsets,usually preceed rain.

i hope these may be of interest
