The sun gathers strength as it rises higher through the thick smoke haze generated by countless controlled burns across Gippsland over the preceding days. Newhaven jetty, Phillip Island.

You promised to take me through the darkness to the light over yonder, is this the pathway I should take?
Sorry could not help myself; this is so dreamy and romantic…..such a lovely composition….
Tony Middleton replied
ahh yes Lisa… But only if you can swim…as the path ends after about 60m…

Awesome, Tony!! Beautiful colors…very vibrant yet a peaceful feeling. I’d love to get a digital back on the Fuji G617!
Travis Easton
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.
Tony Middleton replied
haha Trav ! very true and even rarer for me…though this was sort of on the way to work and options were a little limited…
Anthony Mancuso
absolutely beautiful images tony, perfectly captured. What area were you in?
Tony Middleton replied
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..?
:)
Kathie Nichols

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.
