A panorama of a seascape at twilight looking east at sunset, to reveal the shadows being cast by clouds behind the camera in the west, and here converging toward the anti-solar point in the northeast. These are called anti-crepuscular rays. Shortly after I shot this panorama the Full Moon rose on the horizon near where the rays are converging. However, by moonrise time, the crepuscular rays had faded. Also evident, the pink Belt of Venus and the dark blue arc of Earth’s shadow, here mixed with dark shadowed clouds on the horizon at sea. I shot this April 22, 2016 from the Headlands viewpoint at Woolgoolga, NSW, Australia. This is a 7-section panorama with the 35mm lens in landscape orientation, with each section a 5-exposure HDR high-dynamic range stack of exposures from dark to light to record the range of brightness from the bright sky to the dark foreground. All stacking, tone-mapping and stitching with Adobe Camera Raw.
Heather at the Headlands at Woolgoolga, NSW, Australia, at sunrise on April 22, 2016, overlooking the back beach. There is a pink glow visible to the west from the Belt of Venus effect. This is a high-dynamic range stack of 5 exposures, stacked and tone-mapped in Adobe Camera Raw.
