The tree, the shed, the silo and strange clouds

Posted on September 10, 2013 by gerry

No shortage of grass in this paddock and i suspect, no shortage of tasty snakes either.

Technically, a tricky image to capture, the sun had already passed over the clouds and hence the dynamic range of the scene is quite large, the image is captured by bracketing a number of shots and finally assembling them into a panorama format.

A shot between fish and chips :) Cityscapes with the 4 year old

Posted on September 7, 2013 by gerry

The weather in Sydney has been amazing today , beautifully warm and perfect for the pool and picnics. The sky is still very hazy with local burnoffs and there was some nice colour in the sky tonight, although I did miss the best of it..

An excellent textbook crash landing

Posted on September 4, 2013 by gerry

Probably the best bit of advertising this young instructor has got! He should definitely add that to his resume 🙂

An excellent textbook crash landing.

Young pilots praised for ‘textbook’ crash landing at Victoria Point – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Two young pilots who were at the controls of a light aircraft which was forced to make an emergency landing in Queensland have been praised for their calm actions.

Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House long exposure, like any landscape shot (and I use that loosely since this image could almost be a cityscape too) often getting the right dynamic range can be a challenge, even with newer, more sensitive sensors often you still need to employ additional techniques to achieve the desired dynamic range, especially when trying to replicate what your eyes saw on the day.

The bigstopper adds another level of complexity to it, these tend to add quite a bit of vignetting, (for my lens anyway) so one must also combat this issue also.

The Natural world meets the City

Posted on August 26, 2013 by gerry

Sydney Skyline on a smoky sunday afternoon. The super low tide gives one great access to some slightly out of the ordinary shots of Sydney Harbour and the Sydney Opera house. 180 seconds for the water, taken from Mrs Macquarie's Chair.

Sydney Park Panorama – what I love about this view is you can see some many facets of the inner west from here. From the Alpha house in Newtown to the Redfern blocks to UNSW and of course the CBD skyline (just the way I like it, a long way away :) )

The many shades of Tamarama

Posted on August 14, 2013 by gerry

I am finding that my Seascape sessions are no longer complete without some kind of x-tych. Often images that are not strong enough to hold themselves up really shine in concert with others.

Thats making the best of mediocre images for ya 🙂

View large, if at all.

Thanks to +Suren J and +Rodney Campbell for the company.
