P365 May28: Sunset in Redcliffe

It's been a challenge to get photos while on our trip to Redcliffe. A combination of harsh daylight, short twilight, surprisingly frequent rain and the desire to just be lazy has made it tricky to get all the awesome photos I imagined taking. However, I've still been happy with a lot of the pics I've taken so far. Tonight was the best so far :)

Nomi and I drove up to the top tip of the peninsula to watch the sun set over the Glasshouse mountains. The sunset itself wasn't exactly spectacular, but it had its beautiful moments. We hung around after, waiting for the sky to get dark so I can try some more of the long-exposure shots I've been enjoying lately.

Check out the rays! Pretty chuffed they came out as well as they did.

These fisher-folk were illuminated by this imaginary spotlight for just a few seconds, as they sat on a narrow spit.

Trees can make a lovely frame for a photo! This was a one second exposure about 15 mins after sunset.

As we were driving home I could see these giant clouds brightly illuminated by the moon. Wit the patience of a saint, Naomi waited for me while I ran down to the beach and took a half dozen long exposure shots. This one was two minutes long, and that turned the waves into a light misty strip in the foreground. That Jupiter, bright in the middle right, and Antares - a red giant star - at the top right.

This is a similar angle tanken with the fisheye lens. The moon is high in the sky, and Scarborough can be seen to the far right with the lights of Redcliffe in the distance. That's a plane in the middle, not a meteor :)
