Rainbow Hay.

Snapped this little 6 image stitched pano on my way home from working out of Northam yesterday. It was taken after the first of  a few rain fronts we have had in the last two days. Feels like a return to winter up this way.

Gwalia Garage

Testing the waters a bit with image,  I have been using some of my previous HDR shots and putting them through Nik Siver Efex pro lately to try and get some more contrast and detail in my Black and white photos, This one was done using one of the basic presets in the program with just a slight tweek to finish it off.

The Farmer HDR Tone mapped

This is one of many HDR Portrait style shots I have done using Photomatix and Photoshop for editing.It gives an earthy look to my images which really adds character in most cases.

The Old Cottage

This image is one of favs and one of many HDR photos I have blended and edited in Photomatix. I have posted it in response to Christian Fletchers comments on his Baron gorge image just posted. I find this program  works best with nice even lighting and close up tightly framed shots. I have not had a lot of success wide open landscape type photos, it is great for portrait type shots if you looking to put slightly different effect on the overall image.I hope this helps anyone trying this program and this is just my point of view and I’m not really what you would call an expert in this field but I have a heap of fun using it. Nearly all the competitions I have done well in  have been with Photomatix blended images.

Marble Bar shootout..

Well this is probably my one and only half decent pic of anything to do with Marble bar. This is Coppin’s Gap which is great little spot to visit and take a look  or even take a dip if you so desire.

Alone

Just had to post this one as well, it show’s just how vast Lake Ballard is, To walk and check out all the statues is around  10km’s so staying hydrated is pretty important if it’s a bit warm.

Star Woman.

This is anothery from the epic Menzies – Lake ballard excusion.  It is one of the fifty one statues placed in various locations on the lake itself.   Being on the lake at night by yourself is both eerie and lonely but also very calming if you out there for a while.

Lake Ballard Island

I took this shot at lake ballard a few weeks ago.I spent quite a few hours out on the lake that evening and ended up with a lot of images from the trip.

This is a place I will head back to at some stage.
