Huge Dust Storm (East Australian Coast)

Alpha_Plus

Hi all.. We had a huge dust storm pass over on Wednesday. You may have seen some of the shots from Sydney in the early morning when it was blood red. These shots are from an hour north of Sydney mostly at about 7am in the morning on my way to class.

Barely any pp, just camera settings changed. C&C welcome!!

At the moment they are only hosted on my Facebook account so let me know if they don't work and I'll move them.











It was one crazy morning!

Wow, that's crazy! I saw some footage on the news here, also.

Does the dust not give you breathing problems of some sort?

My sensor already needs a clean so I wasn't too worried, but when you walked outside you couldn't really tell it was dust - there was just an orange sky.

@Ivar, They were warning people with respiratory issues to wear dust masks etc but I think it was fine otherwise - you could only smell the dust when in a confined area such as a small room that had had the window left open.

These are so spooky, as the red color looks like armageddon. Very awesome captures and thanks for sharing, Karl!
