Freycinet Boats

This is another image that I've reprocessed. I felt the original shot had too much contras. The shadows were closed up and some of the highlights were close to blown. This incarnation has been tone mapped through Photomatix. I think the result is much better than the original.

What's been happening?

It seems that time has gotten away from me in the last few months. I haven't had time to get out and take many new photos. I haven't even had time to keep up to date on the net. It's just a case of life getting in the way of life.

I have been doing a few things during these past months but, I wont divulge everything in one post. I need to keep something to talk about.

I have been doing some product photography as part of my day job. That hasn't been too bad and I have got another job lined up for something similar, not through work. We just have to workout some times and places.

Other than that I've been going through some of my old and not so old photos. I have found a couple shots that I liked but needed re-processing. The results have been quite good.

All of these shots are from my trips to the Tasman Peninsula. The first two were shot on my old Panasonic FZ-30, about 18 months ago, and put through Photomaitx. I'm very pleased with the results.













The third shot was taken with my Nikon D80 earlier this year. The original processing of this shot was a bit flat for colour, so I increased it!

Tone Mapped Portraits

I have been playing around with HDR and Tone Mapping over the weekend and I came up with these creations. I put these images through tone mapping twice to create a more stylistic result. I used Photomatix to create these, along with Lightroom and Photoshop.
