7 Tips for Perfect Sunrise and Sunset Photos
If you are one of those people that can actually drag themselves out of bed in the morning, you will sometimes be rewarded with stunning sunrises. If this is new to you, and you want to maximise your chances of that magical shot, have a read of the article linked below.
I have been asked a number of times why do sunrises when you can do sunsets? In my humblest of opinions, I think you get two different types of light. I don’t know what it is, but mornings tend to feel more metallic than afternoon light.
Here are two photos, one morning, one afternoon. Apart from a lot of people knowing I live on the East coast of Australia, which makes guessing very easy, it would be hard to tell which was which.

The Golden Hour Calculator
Golden light, photographers love it. Apparently, so do romantics, who knew? If you are a photographer, or a budding Casanova, the link below will help you figure out exactly what time the sun is coming up or going to bed. And it has a calendar, so you can plan ahead. Certainly worth a look see.

Feel the days getting longer?
Well, for the people in the Southern hemisphere, we are over the hump, and now the days are getting longer again. This shot is from when the sun sets as far to the north as it does for us. I will try and get one on the longest day, to show just how far it moves across the sky.
Bring on spring!

Ever needed to know sunset direction and times?
I don’t know how many times I have arrived at a spot and wondered if the sun would rise/set where I thought it would. Well, here is a foolproof way of figuring it out. See Alex’s page below for a great software solution to the problem. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.

Talk about perfect timing. Sunset shots are pretty common on Flickr, but this is the 1st one I have seen like this. Great stuff.
A catch up post from the Outback.
Well, I have driven 1800kms, and seen a thing or 2. The videos will have to wait until I either get a stable and fast net connection, or til I get home in a week or so. I have been having a ball. Bourke was everything I expected and more. I left Dubbo nice and early as it was a bit of a drive to get there. I was passing through Narromine when the sun came up.
I wandered around Bourke and saw the old wharf there. I also ran into a character called Rick Hopton. I will put a photo of him up when I have sorted through all the photos.
That afternoon I went out exploring and found this dam/lake.
That was day 1 in Bourke. Stay tuned for a trip to the meat works, a chat with a couple of indigenous Austrlians, and a night out with my mate Duncan.
