Hmmm, I was in two minds about publishing this shot, as I am not entirely happy with it. It could have been a stunning picture, but I didn't get it right somehow. What do you think?

I took a stroll down to the stadium to check out the Skycar close-up - gotta take a ride up there sometime!

Pick a good day and time and I'm sure you'll get some spectacular photos.

Sea, sky, ship - all ingredients for tranquillity.

Did you wake up with this view out your window?, I'd never want to sleep... so peaceful.

Yes, that's one of the ever-changing views we have from our bedroom and lounge windows - we are blessed.

Hi Neville,
I absolutely love the one of the pier. I am assuming this is HDR. If so, what bracketing did you use and in which app did you edit this as I have tried this many times with no luck what so ever.

I assume that you are referring to this picture?

Moments after taking this shot this evening, I had to do a rapid back-pedaling manoeuvre, with tripod in one hand and camera bag in the other, to avoid being taken out by a sudden rogue wave!

Yes, I used HDR on it. I used a triple bracket, i.e. -2, 0 and +2.

I use a program called Photomatix Pro for my HDR editing, and then Photoshop Lightroom for finishing off.
