Glenelg sunset
First attempt at taking sunset photographs - discovered dust bunnies
 This was the best of a few dozen shots taken. No PP.

Leigh - I would like to see a tighter crop, and reduce the amount of yellow sky.
Dust bunnies - you might want to invest in the DIY kit, at the following website: http://www.qualitycamera.com.au/product ... ts_id=1351 fozzie
Personally I don't mind the crop. While a bit tighter will get the sun to be more of a focal point, I think the way it is really shows the enormity of the vista. A massive expanse with nothing but the contrast of colours to separate water from sky. I do like the colour of that sky too.
Glenelg is a wonderful place. I remember 75% of the evenings had beautiful sunsets when I lived there for 6 months a few years back.
I only have shots from my 1mp sony cyber shot (lots of lens flare)
Thanks dawesy - my eyes hurt for the rest of the evening, talk about suffering for your art. I cannot recommend staring into the sun through a high quality telephoto lens. I took around 100 shots using a variety of white balance, iso, aperture and shutter speed settings (including a bunch using AEB). This was the best of a poor lot I'm afraid - the clouds / haze just didn't yield a nice sunset unfortunately.
hart please look after your eyes, there are somethings that aren't worth sacrificing for a photo. I'd rather not take another shot but still have years of enjoying others work, then to make myself blind trying to get the perfect sunset shot.. (did you have a tripod?) that would atleast reduce how much exposure your eyes got...
Agreed - I won't be doing that again in a hurry 
My trusty Manfreddy was at my side - it helped a lot actually
