More Sunsets.

Thanks Micko
They don't call Gove "Australia's best kept secret" for nothing.
Not many places you can drive 5 mins from town and get few Km's of beach all to yourself at times.

wow pretty hot piccies one and all - think asi and Ian win tho
nice Belt of Venus in your east shot Phil - and maybe some anti-crepusculars in your shot Ian..
man thats askin for trouble starting a sunset thread hehe - got bloomin millions of them - mostly on film - so your all very safe LOL
I remember reading more than once a long time ago, that Adelaide/SA was considered by travel agents/sailors or some one? to be one of the top 10 cities in the world for sunsets - its got to do with the gulf and the bite with the Nullabor on the other side, i think?
anyway cant resist here's some from my failed attempt to get some shots of the Transit of Venus in 2004 from hills as sun set with P&S nikon cp 5700 1.4x teleconverter

couple more - they are more late afternoon than sunset i guess - taken near murray mouth a while ago - you can see faint anti-crepusculars converging in the anti solar direction in direction of MM - love the clouds that made 'em

I've been wanting to stack some terrestrial images for quite some time now, so when I took those shots above, I fired off a few with stacking in mind (in burst mode) & stacked 3 to see how it would come out. Here's the result.

Not as good as I expected but it's a start. More practice is needed in this area. I think maybe the camera on a tripod would be a good idea for starters.

Or perhaps this is not even worth pursuing??

RB, that 2nd shot of yours is amazing! Very nice!

[asimov (John)]

There all nice guys! Just as well it's not an official competition hey!? Too hard (for me) to pick the best shot out of all these shots!

[astro_south (Andrew)]

Here is one - (though I think I have better ones than this somewhere and will hunt them down) Sunset along the Burdekin River.

Edit - the second and third are a sunset out at Leyburn - doesn't look promising, though from memory some observing was done later in the night.

i have on or 2 to post... have to scan them tho...

maybe tonight or tomorrow night.

brilliant shots everyone

G'day All,

I'll admit that only one of these is an actual sunset pic. But all of them were taken during sunset and at the same place - the Grand Canyon in the US. Just like Ayers Rock, the Grand Canyon does a neat colour change during sunset. The cloud shot is of a fallstreak hole - first time I'd ever seen one - a near perfect circular hole in the cloud.

Peter.

G,day volans


Love your pics, thanx for sharing them with us. The photo of the 'fallstreak' hole has me fasinated, what causes it?

Thanks mickoking, as far as fallstreak holes go...

The Collins Gem Weather book states "It is not uncommon for isolated, apparently regular holes to appear in thin sheets of cloud...They appear when freezing is initiated in the cloud. The crystals fall out...leaving a hole."

Look what I just captured 15 mins ago. Geez, even these photos are not doing the real thing justice!

I haven't seen sunsets like this since I was a kid..Awesome!

I didn't do anything to these, just resized to 800X600

[h0ughy (David)]

love the last one Asisunset

[asimov (John)]

Yeah, I was shocked at the colour of that one.

[mickoking]

Asimov, That is one hardcore sunset, great stuff

[RB (Andrew)]

Asi they are awesome.
If you look up sunset in the dictionary I reckon they should have your images as the definition......
Well done.

[asimov (John)]

Thanks boys but honestly, I can't take any credit here. Just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. The kodak is a no-brainer to use.

[Thiink]

Here is one I took Saturday afternoon (only just got them off the camera now). Cloud patterns werent anything to write home about (which is a good thing I guess?), but it was fun. Need to try more if this rain ever goes away.

[asimov (John)]

Very nice mate!

[rumples riot]

Here's some of mine.
