    this is like fairy land… the pinkness of the sky is just on another planet… the colour seems to have changed for Qld…. great shot…..

  • It was strange with the sun directly over head as a small blue circle, all windows and water reflected a blue-ish tinge. I’ll be out the door soon to see what happens for sunset.

    Cool. I ducked out at lunchtime and shot just near my work in Nerang. Looks much the same (without the trees, buildings and beach, obviously)…

  • Lawrence Drive? Just drop that in next to Cavil Ave – won’t look out of place.

    Got a shot this morning from a mate in Sydney, looked the same, you Ausies don’t do things buy halves! ;-)

  • Sydney got the best deal though, dust storm at sunrise… I’ll be back out for a sunset shot and I’m really hoping the skies will pop due to all the dust particles floating around. Tomorrow I’ll clean my sensor.

    Excellent shot – seems ‘other wordly’

  • Might make one ‘Other Worldly’ in photoshop. Got a couple of ideas.

    Sandstorm are very odd and you’ve done a fantastic work!

    Cool drec, I wasn’t even game to take my camera outside up this way.. bit crook though so didn’t really feel like heading out anyway.

  • Cheers.Had the wet weather gear on and a filter for protection but the body still managed to get dust on it. I’ll clean my sensor tomorrow – depending on dust around.

    wow, tis great light drec, maybe a bit spooky but very effective!

  • I’ll post one straight out of camera, this I removed some of the yellow cast slightly.

    A totally awesome sight, I love how you’ve caught this massive dust storm – now for the clean up…yuk!

  • Was a sight though I’d prefer Sydney’s conditions. Saw plenty of enterprising kids washing car windows at traffic lights.
