Here is a couple more sunset shots for your C&C.

I have attempted to oversharpen to compensate for the forum down/up sizing (or maybe it's flickr!) but that doesn't seem to have worked!

Hi mate
Lovely part of the world we live in

Sometimes I love the long shots and sometimes not.
I find the first shot I love for the first second of viewing and then get distracted by the captured movement.
I do not know why, maybe there is not enough movement in the cloud?

In the second, it is amazing how much detail the bird adds to the scene.
Love it

Suren, I am very jealous of the opportunities you are getting whilst your up in Coal City.

The colours and skies are amazing, now to find something to give that foreground a bit more punch.

The bird in #2 is a nice touch!

Thanks Waz. I am loving NC and most thankful for the newcastle sundancers [http://www.flickr.com/groups/sundancers/] for introducing me to all these wonderful sights. I just wish that I can join you guys for more meets but there are logistical difficulties at the moment.

Fair enough.

I agree.

Good point! I think I can get a bit of jetty (with the UWA) if I stand on the jetty next time. The main problem with that is, if there are others photographing, you don't want to get in their way.

The newcastle sundancers meet almost every week for a sunrise (or sunset; or BOTH) and there is alot of learnt from their model. Their motto is turn up first; ask questions later. :mrgreen:

It is a nice model, maybe we should try to do something similar here....
