Taking sunset photos was one of the highlights of my 6 day photo safari in Australia’s Top End.
We have been very fortunate to shoot many sunset photos around the world atplaces like Zanzibar, Thailand, Western Australia and on a cruise in Mexico .
But I had never been to Australia’s Northern Territory before, and as someone who has intermediate photography skills, it was awesome to have the help of Canon’s newest DSLR, the EOS 650D .
There is nothing like taking in a sunset at the end of a days travel, or at the end of any day for that matter. I love the way it can transform your mood and it’s a time for reflection.
Below is a collection of photos from my journey through Australia’s Top End.
Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, Darwin
These markets, run every Thursday and Sunday, are a Darwin institution. Besides the countless amounts of food stalls and arts and crafts available, the highlight is its location right on the ocean and the setting of the sun.
I don’t think I have ever seen so many people flock to a beach to take sunset photos.

Kakadu National Park
Not only did I get to experience the setting of the sun inside the World Heritage Listed Kakadu National Park, but a great bonus was witnessing the rising of the sun.
Ubirr
The Ubirr region inside Kakadu National Park is famous for its rock art, and as a place to take amazing sunset photos.

Yellow Water Cruise
The Yellow Water is a network of billabongs linked by channels containing an impressive variety of wildlife. Equally impressive is the early morning sunrise as you begin your cruise.
