Scout Images

I actually managed to get out and shoot this weekend, with a big day on Saturday visiting all three Heads of Sydney Harbour (North, Middle and South), then accompanying some friends to Cockatoo Island on Sunday. Where are the pics? Sorry guys I have yet to find the time to sort and process them…they will be up soon.

This week really does pack it all in for me again, with the opening of Vivid Sydney 2010 on the 27th (Thursday), and I will be out there with my tripod as well! Be prepared for the storm of images that are to come.

Just to keep you distracted…here are some from last year.

I realise that it has been a while since I have posted photos, SORRY. This is a combination of not having a lot of time to go shooting lately and even less time to process the few photos I have taken. Hopefully this will change in the near future with the addition of a lighter D60 which will mean I will be carrying around a DSLR more often (once I find the money to buy a smaller, lighter lens to match).

In the mean time I thought I would share some of the stuff that I have managed to shoot recently.

These were taken at North Head (Manly) a few weeks back. Most of these are HDR’s and a few variants of a HDR pano, which all take an immense time to construct. I have to admit that I am not happy with the results but I thought I would share my triumph over the technique. For this set I used my D300 + MB-D10 with either the Nikkor AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8, Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8, Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 VR or the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. I also used my trusty Manfrotto 055 Pro B with the Phottix ball head and the Phottix Geo One on this occaision.

This set of images was taken during last weekends trip up to Palm Beach with some friends. This trip was more for an unwind so photography played second fiddle but both the D300 and the Fujifilm F100fd (and its waterproof housing) saw some action.
