We were down South staying at Bunker Bay again a week ago and we were rewarded with some beautiful sunsets. Almost every time I go down south the weather is dismal, but this time we had a great combination of blue skies and cloud cover.
This one was taken about 30 mins after the sun set and is a single shot image. I also took quite a few stitched images as the sun set behind the rock so hopefully there will be some nice big panoramas to come from those.

Great colours in the sky, and I love the flat water from the long exposure.
FYI, the title under the photo on the larger sized version says “splendid fairy-wren”, which certainly isn’t correct 😉
I was at the same location on the easter weekend….shooting similar shots.

Cheers Martin, it sure was a great sunset. I’ll keep an eye out for your shots 🙂
If you squint and look away from the screen it does look a bit like a Fairy Wren, honest. Well maybe not, all fixed now, thanks.
Thanks for visiting the blog.

Hi Merv, welcome to the blog 🙂
Happy to swap Blog roll links mate. Same goes for anyone else drop me a line here and I’ll add you to my blog roll.
This shot was with my 17-40mm, wouldn’t mind having the 16-35mm for wide angle shots but this one still gives stunning results. Seriously thinking about the 50mm f1.2 for stitching but I would hate to be without my wide angle for single shot images.

Thanks for that Dave, your added to mine.
I’ve got the 24-70 which is what I use the most on the mk2. I also have the 10-22 Canon to use on the 40d which is ok but I don’t really shot a lot of wides.
I’d like to get the 50,1.2, but hard to justify the cost at the moment for the increase in sharpness. I’ll keep useing CS3 for sharpness at this point I’d say.
The little “plastic fantastic ” 50mm 1.8 will have to do for now.

Nice Dave, I like the detail you got in the rocks, not too much just enough… looking forward to shooting Sugarloaf when I’m over that way in August.

Thanks Matt.
I love shooting at Sugarloaf Rock, lots of rock climbing involved so it really reals like your at one with nature.
Of course getting back up the cliff after the sun sets makes it even more interesting 🙂
