"Swirl"

This edit may be a little too dark and gritty, however it suited the conditions at the time though.

I got absolutely soaked. Must remember to carry chamois and some wet and dry lens cloths too (as per Brent Pearson! I should listen more to the man, he's a genius).

Ended up tipping water out of the 17-40mm. Unfortunately I can't have UV filters on with the Lee system (until I get a 0.9ND (I need to have a screw-in Hoya 3-stop). Hence the 17-40 isn't weather-sealed, which is a bummer, especially in these conditions.

So much to think about before and during the shoot!

Turimetta Beach

Still practising. . . .

Not really happy with the cloud in the top left corner, though - my eye seems to be constantly drawn to it. However, I do like the warm tones of the sand, and the leading lines to the central anchor of the big rock.

Recently upgraded to CS5 and LR3. What a simply phenomenal combination. Pretty seamless integration.

I have much learning to do......

Helvellyn Panorama

Helvellyn Panorama, originally uploaded by dr.r.lam.

360 degree, 13 x vertical shot, horizontally stitched panorama.

EOS 1Ds II, 17-40 F4/L, 17mm, f/8.0, ISO 400, 1/1000sec,

Handheld (tripod is too heavy!).

Taken on the walk out from Helvellyn, in the Lakes District UK. The same sheep is on the very left and the very right of the panorama.

Original sizing is 15820 x 4292 pixels.

My wife can be seen just to the left of the lake in the picture.

A truly memorable walk, favourable conditions, and one which I hope to repeat!

I'm working on some images of "Striding Edge" (also on the Helvellyn walk) which should be finished soon! I'll keep you posted.....

"Devoid of Warmth"
--- Fingal Head, QLD ---
210sec, f/8.0, ISO100, 17mm

Shot at Fingal Head Queensland, when Amy and I were at Science Week (Australian College of Veterinary Scientists Conference).

I hired a car and drove an hour to this site to find it raining and pitch black! Fortunately by the time the sun came up the rain had died off.

This is a long (210sec) exposure using my older Hoya 400ND (which I believe is an 8-stop equivalent). I also had recently acquired Lee filters (specifically a 0.9 (or 3-stop) hard GND), which I found helped dramatically with the skyline.

I think the cooler white balance helps with the illusion of ice and freezing temerpatures.

These are the kinds of pictures that I will be learning more about at Brent Pearson's workshop (http://brentbat.wordpress.com/seascape-workshop/). I'd love to learn how to properly post-process these. When I get better at these, expect to see a lot more!
