A Few Images From Warrnambool
Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2011 8:49 pmReturned back on Sunday from a week over in Warrnambool (Vic) and have been processing some photos I took whilst there.
I would be interested to hear any and all comments on these images.
1. Hopkins Falls
The last two years we have gone to Warrnambool these falls have not had so much as a trickle running, but with all the floods the falls were plentiful.
Unfortunately I didn't have any ND filters and couldn't get a slow enough shutter speed to soften the water, so decided to go with the "frozen in time" feel instead (which I hope still portrays the movement of the water - and force it was moving at).
This is a 3-shot HDR image, bracketed by 2 stops, handheld using continuous shooting mode & put together in PS5
2. Birds On A Bridge
Walking towards the footbridge at Lake Pertobe I noticed a few birds perched along the support cables and thought it made for an interesting shot. I tried to use a narrow DOF to enhance the presence of the birds, particularly the closest one to the camera.
3. Boats At Rest
Being a weekday, these small fun motor boats are moored to the island and operate only on the weekends. Their colours and reflections in the water drew me in so I had to take a photo.
4. Stone House
This is an old house situated on the corner of the main street in Port Fairy (about 20Km from Warrnambool).
I liked the shapes and symmetry of the windows and the way the bright sun was lighting the structure, so whipped out the Tokina 11-16 and took a photo.
Cheers,
Dave
