What an amazing sky we had tonight. I think it might have been the best one of the year so far. It was like the whole horizon caught on fire. So beautiful and to think I almost didn’t go down to shoot it as it was cloudy for much of the day. Glad I did! 🙂

Lovely dusk at Valentine last night. Beautiful colours and light.

A couple of shots from around the Belmont baths and jetty a couple of days ago. The light was lovely.

Some photos from Squid’s Ink jetty in Belmont last night. It was a really beautiful, vibrant sunset and the dusk seemed to last for a long time afterwards as well, with the lovely hues intermingling with the clouds.
The clouds were moving quite quickly so I tried a couple of quite long exposures (over three minutes each) at the end to try and capture some movement in the scene. I like how they turned out, I think they’re some of my favourite photos of the year so far.

Gold light
Spills across the lake
As the sun sets
On the first day of Spring
Lovely dusk light over the Belmont Baths this afternoon. I almost didn’t go down for the sunset but I’m glad I did. It was a beautiful end to the day and a great way to start Spring.

A purple and yellow sky
Dotted with clouds
Marks the end
Of a long day
This is from a couple of weeks ago, by the new Belmont Baths. I’m really enjoying exploring the baths and jetty, there are a lot of fantastic opportunities for photos, particularly now there are less people around.

Tall grass
Sways gently in the breeze
As the sun sets
On another day
I took this a few days ago down by the lakefront in Belmont. The sky had just started to turn this beautiful orangey-yellow and there was a lovely cool breeze as well blowing through the trees and grass. I knew the sunset would make for a nice photo but I really wanted to try to capture the feel of the breeze and motion in the image too, so I thought I’d try to juxtapose the gently moving grass with the sunset. It took me a couple of shots to get it right but I really like this one… it’s simple but really gives the slight feel of motion which I was going for.

Sometimes I wish
I had wings
Like a pelican
And could fly away
I took this the other day at Eleebana. The dying light gave the scene a beautiful pink-orange hue and I managed to get this shot just as the pelican came into frame. It was a nice way to end the day.

I am like a tree
The wind blows me to and fro
But still I stand tall
I spotted this tree on the Newcastle foreshore while shooting the sunset last week. I thought the way it was leaning was interesting and I really liked the way it framed the scene and the dying light.
