Birubi Beach Sunset Panorama

I finally got around to finishing some more pictures from our Birubi Beach christmas holidays! (Yes, it’s been that long!)

In this set, I feature some beautiful sunset photos taken on December 30th, 2008. Living on the East coast, I never get to see the Sun setting over the ocean. But due to the curving around of the headland, at Birubi Beach in summer it is possible!

Jacob and I went down to the beach to watch and photograph the Sunset – him with my old Sony Cybershot, and me with my Canon 350D. It was great spending the time together, wandering the coastline and climbing over the rocks, looking for the perfect shot.

    Great shots Mike !
    I especially like your 2nd shot, the way the light is reflecting off the water and the colour in the sky is beautiful.

    Hi Mike, Great pics – especially the top panorama 4 image one. We have a weekender up at Birubi and this would look great on the wall. Can we purchase this image from you – I couldn’t see it on RedBubble. Many thanks, Sally

      Hi Sally, thanks for your comments. It’s such a beautiful place up there – we’re heading up there again this christmas, so I hope to do some more photography while we’re there.

      I can upload this pic to Red Bubble – I’ll let you know when it’s done. Probably won’t be until after the weekend though sorry.

      Cheers and thanks.
