I just love the photograph called ZEN - Is that also HDR?

Yes it is. Glad you like it.

How'd you capture the lightning strikes, Neville? Good reactions, rapid fire and luck, or some elegant technical trick?

Lots of patience and luck. I mounted my camera on a tripod, set the exposure to 6 seconds, pointed it in the general direction of where most of the lightning was active, and then took about 50+ exposures one after the other until a few of them captured a strike!

I worked in one of the houses at the end of Palmiet rd last week and noted how quiet and peaceful it is down by the river.

While sitting in my car at the beach front, I spotted this little guy having a ball amongst the pigeons.

Like phantoms in the twilight, some fisherman cast their lines into the misty sea.

Leaning Over by Neville A Bailey, on Flickr
I spent the morning watching the Pinetown Street Race today. A great turnout from the community added to the atmosphere.

Sorry, there will not be a Pic of the Day today, as I am laid low with the flu and I simply cannot drag myself out of bed!

Get better soon Neville.

[Blurock]

Drink your cough syrup and get well soon!

Bay of Plenty Waves by Neville A Bailey, on Flickr
Thanks to a tip-off by one of my blog followers, I headed off to the Bay of Plenty to capture this stormy scene. The weather did not put off the fishermen though – the waves were breaking over them and they stood their ground!

Soaked! by Neville A Bailey, on Flickr
I’m sorry that I have been rather scarce the past few days, but I have been hit by some bug and it has reduced me to an invalid!
This picture is not a good picture, technically, but I hope it catches the mood! I was restricted to my car and took the shot through my windscreen in quite low light conditions.
