Thunder Storm

Finished a wedding rehearsal last night and the sky pouring down the heavy rain. That was a thunder storm. I missed out all the chances to take the lightening pictures so that I could be safe driving on the motorway. Did not take photos for lightening but some rain drops while I was waiting for my take away dinner.

HDR

Have not gone out for hobby shooting for quite a while, quite a long while actually. Happened seeing my friend's HDR photographs, got inspired and moved by him so studied some info about HDR photography off the net, asked my friend a couple of questions, and did some trail shootings in the day time. Finally moved myself out there at night and put learning into practice 1st time at night.

No photographer knows everything but not photographer knows nothing. Photography is a no end learning - also no end spending :)

IR Auckland City

I have been very lazy not posting any photos nor news here but can find myself sounded excuse saying I was busy. :) I will try my best to post photos here more often. Can't promise, but I will .. try.

This is an infra red photograph of Auckland City, New Zealand. I have been playing with my little gadget Fujifilm IS-1 for a little while now and start to get a reasonable good hand of it. This photograph was not Photoshop but was modified with the simple & free editing software from Google: Picasa3. I did not expect much a good result but this turned out not badly.
