You know, sunsets have become so cliche over the years, but I personally never tire of them. As a newbie to photography a while ago, sunsets were the first thing I wanted to tackle. In fact, I have a couple I took in 2005, here: http://www.usefilm.com/photographer.asp?ID=92490&PF=24527 When I compare those to what I did only a year later, I'm amazed at how much I achieved. Yet, I have much to learn still.
Some things I've picked up along the way are:
Sunsets (or any other land/sea scape) will have more impact for the viewer when the sky colours and clouds (if any) are dramatic;
Sunsets over sea in particular, need something in the foreground to anchor the composition - land, boats, rocks, jetties etc. The viewer needs to feel totally immersed;
Use filters. Polarisers and Neutral Density filters are a fantastic investment - this won't help you right now, but when you decide to move on to a dSLR, you'll want these;
Experiment. Sit yourself down somewhere picturesque, and if your camera allows it, switch to manual control and experiment with different settings. Take as many pictures as you can. Try everything.

Awesome silhouette Aly. You did really well given the low light. Would've been great to have isolated this baby out on the water I'd imagine.

Gravity? What is this gravity?? And where is your disguise? You have clearly violated Intergalactic Law: Rule 601, Section 2, Subsection D, Subsubsection MMDCLXIII of the "How To Interact With Humans On A Daily Basis" Code, specifically addresses the importance of remaining incognito! Go back to you ship and have a little think about it.
Sheesh... young ones today...
Long Live UFOs!!

Aly, I'd love to see your pics. Let me know when you have them up. Sounds as though we are like-minded. Or just plain weird. I like to think of myself as weird ;P Hey, thanks for all the great comments! Fantastic to see that the Spidey series is still getting an appreciating looksee. Cheers!

Rina's a fantastic cook too! She makes the best pasta bolognese in the world and tommorow, she's making lamb roast, yummmmmm :)
You should come visit some time. I'm sure Rina would love to show you around!

Yeah, loads of palm trees here. I guess they've acclimatised! Unlike me, six years and still not used to it
Glad you likey. I'm a little ticked off at my sharpening stuff up. I suspect I didn't check the previous photo either :( Oh well, tomorrow's pics will be better, and a LOT more exciting too! Stay tuned... ;)

Marcus, Marcus, Marcus... you been living in a vacuum boy? Don't tell me you didn't know about Gene's travels around the world? He's been to Aussie twice so far too! Check this page out for his itinerary: http://www.usefilm.com/image/1352078.html
Just quietly, I don't think it would be a good idea to send Spidey on a world tour... he's way too much trouble ;P

Oooooooohh! This is a beauty! Straight to favs :) Just look at all that colour, and butterflies hiding in there. I'm half expecting to see some magic mushrooms laying around, hehehe... What a delightful shot my girl.
Gene, um, ahhh... [cough] Um, we'll talk about the "eyes" business some time this week. I'll attempt to explain...

Gayle!!!! Cookie loved your little surprise for her, she even got a little teary-eyed! I'll do my very best to stay out of trouble. Spidey said he'd take good care of me, so I can't go wrong, right?? I'm missing you and Rivvie so much, can't wait to see the pic of us!
Hugs straight back at ya!
Gene.
p.s. Oh, Rina says to tell you that you know her too well... ;P

Hi Avi! I had a little rest with Doyle, but I was just so anxious to get moving again, it's too much fun!
Oh, and Rina says she's very glad her tips have helped and she sends hugs :)
