as always – click image for a better view
The sun gathers strength as it rises higher through the thick smoke haze generated by countless controlled burns across Gippsland over the preceding days.

Tone what going on, your supposed to shoot away from the sun, not into it, the cardinal rule, the cardinal rule…?
Fantastic image bud and very impressive to get that manual exposure so perfect with your 90mm. Man weren’t there fires everywhere last week, they’ve burnt half the isthmus at the prom too. Have a good one.

What a gorgeous morning. I know its often smog in the cities or smoke in rural areas that intensifies sunrise and sunset colors, but am always thankful for the display. Love your panoramas.

thanks for the comment Anthony (and everyone else – much appreciated ! ).
I’m not sure if you are referring to the fires or this jetty…the fires were widespread and this jetty is in Westernport bay if that helps..?
