I spend a good time on social web activity trying to work out how my photos work best in this every changing environment. This next year sees more possibilities and I thought I'd blog as I go - partly because Blogger and Google + offer more opportunities to promote my work, more interaction and and also (frankly) because some chance of the photos being presented properly. It also gives me chance to think about what I'm doing and write about my journey - this may help others.
This first set are from a jaunt to a very chilly Old Leigh and Two Tree Island in Essex last night with family. Sunsets are something of a staple from which I've tried to steer clear recently - but when a good one presents itself well, I am a sucker for natural light! Cloud was just all the more tempting!
I'm doing some post processing with Photomatrix on three exposures - plus sometimes some tidying with PSE.
Panoramas are easy with iOS6 (iPhone 5) but never have the detail - if this 15 (3exp x5) exposure HDR panorama had come off it would have been over a metre wide at 300 dpi!
But the Gods of lenses and perspectives put paid to that - so here are two very pleasant panoramas taken at the top of the escarpment at Leigh of the glorious Thames Estuary.
And
They would still go well on a wall together, maybe with a door, a thin incongruous window or the top of a grandfather clock splitting them :-P
