With great tooth pain comes great responsibility, here's what happens when my phantom teeth wake me up at 5am ...

POTD 40.

Spent about 4 hours out there doingthis last night, and got fogged about halfway through, of course having the interval set to 100ms between shots meant I couldn't check to see how Foggy it actually was! So a learning experience there!

Also, 1600 ISO produces very nice and detailed trails, but they're an ASS to post process. I ended up doing them in batches of 20 shots set to lighten then adding the batches to one another, anything else meant for additive noise and yuk!

Re-edited some old shots this week, thanks to being here and having nothing to do but throb and wait for the pain to subside. POTD 39

Linked Sunday Afternoon

Afternoon all!  Just taking a little time to share some tuts that have been very helpful recently!!

First Up, the ever-good Cambridge in Colour, always good for a multitude of things, and they dont treat you like an idiot.

Next up is Star Circle Academy, which is all about astro shooting and is VERY good!

Enjoy!

Auckland and The Way

Well, after a wee foray into HDR (more next week) and running around on other things (landscape, winning competitions etc) :D I got the chance to head out last night with Liam to have an adventure.

We went for rather s nice drive and ended up here, at Mahurangi Regional Park. So this is the Milky Way and some of Auckland in the corner. The skies cleared nicely for a while, so there was much running around.
