Australian sunset

TenaciousTins · Apr 4, 2012

Here are a couple of pictures from Mooroopna, Australia. Just happened to be traveling back from a birthday party and the sunset was AMAZING! I tried to keep the horizons straight and to use the rule of thirds, but honestly, I was so excited to be shooting this, that I barely paid attention to the rules. Where I come from in the US, I never get to see sunsets because it's so hilly. Just visiting Australia for several weeks and this was just amazing. Shot with an 18-55mm lens...unfortunately no tripod as it was a bit too far to carry it from home. C+C welcome! I also have many more available that I am willing to upload...some of them are more in tune with the rule of thirds than these...but these were what everyone liked the best.

1. Everyone's favorite

Wonderful set. I love that 3rd one with the sun rays.

Very nice, like the 1st one the reflections on the water and the color.

Thank you...I am still counting my lucky stars to even be there in the first place...it was so absolutely gorgeous and there is no way I could truly capture it in pictures...it was AMAZING. i love being out here. I swear if I was not married, I would find a way to get out here to live.
