Beautiful sky
Of vibrant blue
Fill my soul with peace
As the day ends
Some photos from Warners Bay last night. It was a lovely sunset, very colourful and peaceful. Just what I needed after a long day.

Orange clouds
Stretch out over the lake
Like flames spreading
Across the sky
Lovely sunset at the Belmont baths and jetty earlier this evening. The explosion of colour was beautiful. Mother Nature definitely likes to put on a show sometimes.

Lovely sunset at Squid’s Ink Jetty in Belmont last night. It’s nice seeing blue sky again after all the smoke lately too.

A bright sun descends
From an orange sky,
A portent
Of things to come
Watching the sun go down from the lookout at Green Point Reserve. After the weeks of smoke in the air from the bushfires, it was nice seeing the sun and a clear sky again, even if it’s probably not going to last for long unfortunately.

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.

Beautiful sunset over the lake at Belmont yesterday evening. There were some very interesting cloud formations and at one stage a plane went across as well, leaving a trail in its wake. It was a lovely sunset.
I decided to shoot a couple of panoramas to capture a bit of a different, wider perspective. Panoramas can be quite tricky to stitch with water but these ones came out well and they work well with the other shots.

The sun
Sets fire to the sky
Like a dragon
Scorching the horizon
The setting sun as seen from Stockton. Most of the sunset wasn’t that special but the sky turned a lovely orange for a few moments just before it started to disappear. I was lucky enough to get this shot just as it did.

An orange sun sets
As I sit and watch the swans
Glide over the lake
Beautiful sunset over the lake earlier this afternoon. It was a lovely end to the day.

The sky catches fire:
My eyes search the horizon
For your gentle face
The photo group I run met at Pelican last Sunday. I was excited for the shoot as it’s one of my very favourite spots to shoot around Lake Macquarie and not many people had shot there before. When the conditions are right it can be a real gem.
So I was hoping we’d get a beautiful sunset and it didn’t disappoint! Once the sun had just dipped below the horizon, the sky became this incredible canvas of blue, orange, yellow and purple. We all got some nice shots and I was very happy with how these long exposures came out.
There was also a beautiful crescent moon which I managed to get a shot of afterwards. I don’t tend to shoot the moon when it’s not full, this reminded me I should do it more often. The slither of light against the darkness is quite striking.
