The Twelve Apostles. It’s been probably 9 or 10 years since I’ve been onto the Great Ocean Road. As it was Australia Day on Tuesday, decided to take Monday off to take advantage of the long weekend. Drove off to Port Campbell to see the sights.

Heh, back then I only had a fixed focal length Nikon film camera and a 0.3 megapixel Fujifilm digital camera, neither of which will match the D300 or the power processing of Lightroom almost a decade later.

This photo here is my first attempt at trying a HDR (high dynamic range shot), which is basically 5 photos at various exposures using bracketing and a tripod (I didn’t carry one so I opted for the fencing) to get the tones and gradations of colours from each exposure and map it into a single image.

I thought I’d try something different with my photography, which should be what I’m aiming for this year, to push what I can create in an image and not just be limited to what I already know.

Have lots to do but very little time. Came back from my Great Ocean Road trip and had a barbeque on Australia Day. Heh, have a whole stack of reading material to go through, including photography ebooks, a guide to setting up a business on the Australian government website and various other miscellaneous websites I follow. Heh, if only I didn’t get tired and needed to sleep. Well, one can dream anyway.
