Esperance Sunrise
Had some free time last night and managed to stitch another image from my trip to the South West of Western Australia recently .
This shot was taken at sunrise in Twilite Cove at Esperance , got some really intense colors at the sunrise that morning but they didn’t hang around for long . Found it quite difficult shooting Twilite Cove that morning just with the position of the sunrise to the cove , Also found it hard to hold back the sky with my cheap cokin filters had stacked 2 on and didn’t want to stack any more due to color cast problems , wont be having that problem as my Lees filters arrived a few weeks back now just waiting on my Stinghray filters to arrive . The red channel was also easy to blow out shooting under these conditions .
Was origningally a Ten image stitch but croped it down to about 8 images . Would love to be back down in Esperance the coast line is amazing , hopefully will be able to head back down for a few days before the end of the year .












Very amazing ! I like colors and “frozen” sea.
It sure was a blazing sunrise, i remember it well. You have done a god job holding back the reds. Nice peaceful scene … I’m ready when you are
WOW!!!! Amazing! Fantastic shot, Kirk!!!

most people dont get to see these moments, its good we can share them around.
Thanks Christian

Incredible sunrise. Incredible place. Your shots are always full of colour. You always manage to pull whatever you can out of the sky.
Thanks mate didnt need to pull much color out of this sky
Magic light,location and shot Kirk – awesome stuff mate !
Thanks Tony
Very smooth, awesome colour.
Thanks Thomas
I don’t know a whole lot about lenses for full frame cameras, but can you buy an ultra wide for them? i suppose even if you did, some stitching may still be necessary in order to get the panoramic look. i just bought an ef-s 10-22mm canon lens for my 1000d. hopefully it’s fun to use
great colours here, nice pink tones. the water looks walkable on (don’t you just love my english)
awesome colour! nice work.
did you enter some photos into the jetstar photo competition?
Hi Katie , No didnt know there was a competition ? did you enter ?
