Pencarrow, Wellington, NZ 2009: My first go at doing an HDR, without much success. Making an HDR (High Dynamic Range) image is combining a range of different exposures of the exact same scene, into one image.

Pencarrow lighthouse (lwr), Wellington, NZ: Caught this one in a hundred shot of a dolphin “piloting” the Interislander ferry Kaitaki through the mouth of Wellington Harbour.

It is New Zealand’s worst modern maritime disaster, fifty-one people lost their […]
