G'day all,

Went down to Mornington Pier on Saturday night (yeah I know, sad isn't it ) anyway, went there for the sunset and I was just about to pack up when it lit up... The color was only there for about 3-4 minutes then disappeared...

Should have spent more time finding a better angle...

Cheers.

Stunning andrew

the subtle sexy tones have been captured best in image 1

image 3 i guess it was gettign darker

personally i have never witnessed such colours in a sunset so i can't really judge these but on an aesthetic level, i love the first

Wow, those are some incredible colours. I really like thie first one for the way the light is reflected on the water, and beacuase of the way those sparse clouds stretch up and out into the sky and catch the light beautifully. Excellent shots.

Beautiful stuff, for me #2 is my favourite I prefer the balance of colour in the sky and texture in the water.

Beautiful work Andrew. #2 for me too. The softness in the water created by the longer exposure has really made the foreground rocks stand out and add interest to the scene.
cheers

love a good sunset........ and you have 3 good ones to select from, great capture........ the beauty about waiting for the right moment is that you just never know when it is going to happen.......

Few of the best sunsets, I've seen Andrew!! Well captured. I love Nos 1 and 3.

Number 1 is great

I only live 10 mins away from the Mornington Pier

Beautiful images Mudder

Nice stuff Andrew. All images are well exposed and the colour is delighful. All could benefit from a little more foreground interest IMO.

 BTW, I have to add (I missed the mentioned that these were manually stitched), Well done you've done an awesome job with these, and also thanks for explaining your technique in the other thread. I haven't tried yet, but my guess is the at the wide angle Panofactory might have more trouble stitching them. (It might make a interesting future experiement, comparing a automated stitch to a manual stitch).

Andrew, the colours in your sunsets are great and your stitching is seamless very well done.

Out of the series I find #3 more appealing that #1. To me it has the richer colours found in southern sunsets and the slightly darker appearance I think help bring out the reds. I also like the fact the reds are off to one side of the image and not smack bang in the centre. I would guess this picture was taken right before the colour in the sunset suddenly disappears.

Still a very nice series to be proud of... will have to go and find your stitching thread...

/M.

I love a good sunset also.
Is hard to pick my favourite but probably 2 is the best overall.
3 has the nicest coloured sky but is dark
1 has the most interesting looking clouds

Here is the problem! I can't decide! Probably the clouds' pattern of the first one will make it a winner for me Good work, Andrew!
