After a 3 day long storm, the conditions were perfect for some sunset drama. The explosion of color didn't happen till after the sun was already set. I recognized that the upper clouds were moving very quick, and that the lower clouds were hardly moving at all. It was the perfect scenario to use a long exposure to blur the upper clouds into streaks of color, while maintaining definition to the lower clouds.
The Rainbow Eucalyptus Tree has to be one of the most beautiful trees that exist. Outer strips of the trees bark shed at differing times throughout the year, revealing the young inside bark of the tree. The peeling process results in different colors of bark streaking up and down the tree.
