Strange Winter Sky

[LucasB]

Hi Everyone,
With the lack of good nights for astrophotography here in Melbourne recently I thought I would post one of my terrestrial shots. This was taken on 5/8/2011 at about 5:45pm from my backyard. It was a very unusual winter sky. It almost resembled a summer "height of bushfire season" type of sky. Captured with a Canon 550d using the 50mm F1.8II.
Thanks for looking,
Comments and critique always welcome.

As a landscape photographer, that is the type of sky I dream about.

Hot. Damn.

I recently moved house, and have been lucky enough to catch some amazing sunsets from my balcony - and you can see the amazing colours from most of my living areas with strategically placed windows. There was a run of great pinky orange sunsets about a month and a half ago, they were breathtaking

Whoa! What a sky!

A wonderful and spectacular capture Lucas.

You could be forgiven for thinking there was a raging bushfire coming your way.

Thanks H. Hope you get some skies like this soon!







Thanks Mishku, Baz and Ric. It's just one of those moments where you look outside and say to yourself "I've gotta get my camera"



Thanks Dino. Much Appreciated!
