2 New HDR Images

2 New HDR Images

Last night, feeling a bit fed up, I decided to look through some more of my Isle of Wight images to see what I could turn into HDRs.

After looking through a few, I selected 2 and created a couple of processed images.

When saving the second photo, I noticed that the filename started with an underscore. They normally are IMG_0001.jpg etc.. but this one was _MG_0001.jpg. I quickly checked the other and it was the same.

Whilst this is not an issue, we have noticed that Nats camera saves images starting with underscore, mine doesnt. It a good way of identifying photos if we save them to one location.

This is what had happened when we were on that trip. I only had my harddrive so we saved them to that.

So, thinking I was creating my HDRs I had inadvertently processed 2 of Nat images. So I still didnt create any new HDR images of my own last night! 🙁

Lovely Sunday

Lovely Sunday

Wasnt the weather great yesterday!!

So much so, that despite having to still update the shop after the recent problems and the Grand Prix on, we decided to get out and take some photos.

A good decision. We went to Hinton Ampner. Very busy! But nice grounds and a nice walk with some great views.

Manage to get a couple of nice images too, just to keep me ticking over.

More early mornings, 7am in Farnham park on Saturday though it wasn’t such a successful trip. I had hoped to get photos of some deer, instead I just got a single photo of a pigeon!

Spam & Past Posts

Spam & Past Posts

Why to spammers like blogs?

Its strange, since updating the blog at the begining of the week, it now gets so much more spam. So I’ve installed more plugins in an attempt to slow it down, or stop it.

On a side note, looking at the new archives categories (still cant fix the font size) its interesting to see just how the blog entries have deminished over time. When I set it up, I had a lot to blog about and a lot of information to share. I now think I share more relevent information and not just the general chit-chat that I used to do.

Anyway, its interesting. Its also the weekend now, so off home.

Have a good weekend

An Older Image Reviewed

Feeling a need to do more photography the other day and not being able to, I turned to some older photo and saw some potential in this image.

I dropped it into photomatix, and didnt even need to adjust anything!!

taken in 09, it had just rained and we were in the middle of the field shielding the camera bag, when it stopped, the sun set!

However, I have now managed to added categorized archives!  much better!
