Finally getting round to processing all my shots, bare in mind I have 5,200 shots to sort out and decide which ones to process. I'm also building a new PC on Tuesday so will be ready to go fully once its built! Expect lots of updates and some old shots that you've probably forgotten about by now!

Been slacking since summer of 2011! New camera next week so prepare for updates in the near future!

Its a week since Ayacon 2011 now and I've still not had a chance to shop my photos taken from the weekend; having 2 wisdom teeth removed seemed to knock me out of sync for a few days. I've just picked up a premium membership so I can finally begin to use DA properly! During the weekend of Ayacon I managed to pick up a new 50mm 1.8 and 430EX II; this made some significant improvement to my shots over the Ayacon weekend, espeicially in low light.

It's been so long since I had a day out with my camera. I obtained a new tripod, and so, decided that I would finally get round to getting some HDR photography on the go. I've been wanting to do some for quite some time now... I took a trip down to the royal quays to get some good criteria for the well-composed shot. I struggled at first until I walked to the harbour; grungy looking ships, yachts, sun and a good background landscape. What more could I ask for? Alas, check out some of my recent deviations to get an idea of what I got upto.

HDR is really fun as it seems, albeit, the shot takes about 20 seconds to setup and snap upto 12 ev/bracketed images, the computer work later required can take anywhere from ~30minutes upto ~1.5 hours. :S However, the result is worth the while.

I'm going to keep up with HDR and try and get better at composing and creating great images. Now I just need a better lens
