Back in December of last year we bought a new Off-Road Camper Trailer. To date we have only had one chance to use it unfortunately and that was back in January. But hopefully it will mean that I can get out and about a lot more often, and that should mean that I can get more landscape photography shots.

Anyway, here are a couple of shots from one morning while on that January camping trip as well as a couple of HDR images of the new trailer setup. Oh, and it shows my new signs on the doors of my vehicle too.

I have had quite a few people of late asking me about HDR. The usual question is a straight forward “What is HDR?”. So, in an effort to explain this a little for those of you who visit this site, I though I should give a bit of an explanation.

HDR or High Dynamic Range Photography, in basic terms, is a technique where bracketing is used in a digital camera to take several (usually 3, though it can be more or less) images of varying exposure values. These images are then merged in software to produce a single final photo that has a high, often exaggerated dynamic range of colour and light.

In my case I have been experimenting with three images. One is at a normal or near normal exposure, one is over exposed and one is under exposed. The over exposed and under exposed shots are obtained by using the auto bracketing setting on the digital camera set to +2/-2 EV.

Today was warm and fine, so after a spot of caffeine absorption with my friend Amy¹, we went on a small outing to Boorolong for some photo taking. You can find a small sample of the results below, and if you click on one of them, you will be taken to the full album.
