Selfie Saturday

Posted on September 14, 2013 by gerry

Someone need to give the place some scale 🙂 even so, one cannot tell that the boulders on the right are the size of buses from the picture – conveying a sense of scale with a wide angle lens is quite difficult.

Colour Contrast, Vertical goodness

Posted on September 14, 2013 by gerry

The quaint colour contrast of the rocks caught my eye here, from electric green to the rustic red, I guess its little surprise given the rocks are washed daily from Botany Bay accumlating all kinds of bacteria and organisms , bot natural and man made 😉

traffic

Posted on September 13, 2013 by gerry

One can never have too many images of city with the worst traffic, well i am sure I am being a bit over dramatic, however.

The day some politician actually builds a second airport in Sydney will be a day of celebration….

or they could just let the floating helipad go ahead 🙂

Imagine being able to land right here 😉

The B-sides

Posted on September 12, 2013 by gerry

I really wish I had the time to properly go through all the images I take and process them…

This is place where I promised myself I would be back, sadly i have been within kilometres of the location on a handful of occasions and never gone back – next time 🙂

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..

Welcome to the little pothole

Posted on September 4, 2013 by gerry

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.

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.
