It was great to be back in the Waitakeres again.

That pic looks so soothing. It would make a good pic to hang in the lounge :thumbsup:

Here is some pics from the Festival of Lights in Taranaki. I am still learning how to use the new camera, and there were so many people around it was hard to get time to set up a decent shot, but I am happy with the results. enjoy.

Some pics I took of my mate riding the other day. The intent here isn't to show off his riding, but the photography

Stunning Phil

Yah
No wonder you haven't any time to ride your bike any more Phil

Thanks - and I did get to ride on Saturday morning as well, damn near killed me though - must get back to regular riding again.

Thanks Bill - one day I will get around to printing and hanging some of these

Love that motion blur shot Mr__Gtr. I am not a huge fan of the colourisation of B and W shots, though have done it well, personal oponion is that would look better a pure B and W.

It stands for High Dynamic Range. Its a picture that is a composite of many different exposures of the same subject, meaning that the shadows can become more visible while highlights and midtones can remain the same.

Shortstuff - is that the "bach" at the foot of the Mangawhai walkway ?

It certainly is. Good spotting.

PhilterNZ - awesome waterfall pic, what shutter speed did you use?

Hmmmm - HDR looks strange - like the bach is a 3D model that has been photochopped in there!

My two cents on the B&W/coloured pic says it would look best if the rider and bike were coloured, but only 50% coloured (faded out). But that's just me...
