MIA

Seems that I’ve been totally out of it, haven’t put up anything on here for over half a year now. I’ve been neglecting this pretty badly you could say. Unfortunately, I haven’t been posting up photos elsewhere so I guess I’m going to start chucking some up. Heaps of stuff has happened since I last posted. I went into, and out of employment, and then back into it again. I went overseas and I decided to take stupidly hard courses this year.

Anyway, let’s see what’s been happening since I was last here.

Shooting by Moonlight – 3

Beragoo Homestead. Shot on 14 July 2011 @ 7:28pm.

  • 30″
  • f/5
  • 18mm
  • ISO 1600
  • Canon EOS 500D
  • Lightroom 3.4
I was originally intending to make an HDR out of this photo and another 2 files but I thought that this single image worked by itself much better than what I could have made an HDR into. I guess that there wasn’t much dynamic range to have to capture in this scene anyway. Remember, that it’s basically just illuminated by the moon. I’m personally surprised that my camera managed to pull out so much light. I quite like the odd lighting effect that the moon provides and the fact that you can see the stars… well, that’s why I love the country.

Four Seasons

The Four Seasons Hotel, Geroge St, Sydney. Shot on 31 July 2011 @ 1:55pm.

  • 1/1000 +/- 2EV
  • f/4
  • 18mm
  • ISO 100
  • Canon EOS 500D
  • Photomatix Pro Mac, Photoshop CS5 Mac
The Four Seasons for me, stands out from the rest of the hotels in the area. I suspect that it might have to do with the different colour of the building? Anyway, I got this as I was crossing the road, not as nicely framed as I would have liked but that’s what cropping’s for right? And I managed to not get run over so another plus. This is much more spectacular when the sun sets and the clouds get a beautiful orange tinge but I never seem to have my DSLR on my when I’m in the city that late. Again, I’m trying to use HDRs to add that little extra contrast and saturation as well as allowing me to not washout the background.
