Get to wello now !!

This was my text to friend and fellow tog Kim (itsgottabered) at 6am thursday morning.(He lives 5 mins away)

(Sorry to all others couldnt text everyone ) :-)

 

I didnt want him to miss this baby going off, some say togs are selfish pricks and like to keep these moments for themselves, well not me, no way could i face myself sending him an iphone snap of this..

Anyway thats just me..

Have been waiting for this sky since last June 5th 2011, we haven't had many great sunrises in SEQ over last 12 months,i should know as im out 2-3 times a week... this one makes up for all of that.

Why was i here ? i had gone out on tuesday and trying to catch a good sky, no luck just a splash of colour.

Had a hunch for thursday, so dragged my butt out of bed and headed down to wello, on arrival i could see this monster glowing in the dark in the night sky...

Got set up for numerous panos of this scene, this one just a crop and entree to the main course...

Once the sun rose higher this baby went off big style.....

I dont normally throw up a pic or more than one of a shoot so quick as many to get through, but this one breaks all the rules..

So im afraid you will see one other in all its Pano glory.. Will be on our big 44 inch printer monday morning...All 2 metres of it.....

 

Lastly now i give up.... how do you top this sky ??

 

A capture that finally justifies my purchase of this awesome camera..

No filters used here...single capture NO HDR.....

Sorry for the spiel, but as you can see fairly excited about this shoot.

 

Please enjoy and best viewed large..
