Sometimes the most vibrant skies appear when you least expect them. This range of dramatic sunset hues suddenly appeared on a heavily clouded horizon in south-east Melbourne just before the Easter break in 2008. As luck would have it, I had my 70-300mm lens on my camera, so I had to make an instant decision. I knew it would only take me three or four minutes to get in my car and drive to the top of a hill for a clear shot of the colours. But I knew that in that short span of time, the brilliant colours could have disappeared completely. So I decided instead to use the lens to its fullest reach and try and eliminate as much suburban clutter as possible. I shot nineteen frames very quickly, using different objects as silhouettes. This, the third image in the sequence, had the most dramatic colours and things dissolved quickly to grey after that. The skyshow lasted less than five minutes …. had I driven, I would have missed capturing the colours! I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F5.6, 1/60 sec, ISO 800, focal length 300mm. 76-4193

Perth Skyshow, Australia Day 2009, from the South Perth Foreshore. Late arrival – standing with Monopod, would have loved a tripod at the time.

Quite heavily intoxicated, no tripod and squashed on my mates balcony in South Perth I managed to fluke a couple of Skyshow Shots!! I honestly think Perth is the best city to celebrate Australia day as the patriotism with the sandgropers is outstanding!! Nearly everyone gets intothe spirit of dressing up in Australian flag themed outfits having bbqs and eating Tim Tams!!
