Yet another image from the Wrong side of the Harbour Bridge. The Halo ruins it a little but it was created/exaggerated when converting to the J. Holmes colour space(?). Does anyone have any knowledge/insight that may help rid me of this troublesome halo?

First post in what seems like ages, and it is!
This was taken early on a Sunday morning, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and I don’t have another sky to just drop in to replace the bright blue one that I got. Still, inspiration was found from a Christian Fletcher Tutorial featuring Eureka 88 in Melbourne. With all of those trees’ dropping in a new sky, AKA Peter Eastway, could get interesting.
I didn’t go as far as he (CF) did in the tutorial as I wanted to keep the colour in the buildings and ended up with a stormy look to the heavens!

•May 27, 2010 • 11 CommentsThanks for the comments comrades’ in photography, I haven’t produced a square crop as I thought but this is the crop I produced to the requirements of the ‘Better’ series of magazines. Personally, I like this better, square will work but I think this has quite a nice balance. Once cropped I added a level adjustment that brightened it up a little too. I’ll be interested to see what feed back I get, both images are posted.
Palisade Hotel
•March 27, 2010 • 14 CommentsHere’s an image of the Palisade Hotel that has has been bugging me for quite awhile. I’d really appreciate some feedback on this image. I’m hoping to get back back there later this year and spend some effort on this unique icon of Sydney. I think the area north of The Rocks has a lot to offer. I think I may re-crop and try an Eastway effect, on the hotel itself and darken the edges. Ideas??

•March 3, 2010 • 6 CommentsI found this little place when I visited the Collingwood Farmers Market on the banks of the Yarra River. I really wish we had something like this market in Perth. These buildings just fascinated me, I could have been in rural France. While taking this image I met a local who’d been going to this market for years and not even glanced at the building until she saw me taking this picture. That’s proof we sometimes miss what’s under our noses (or in front of our eyes!).
Marysville August 2009
•March 3, 2010 • 6 CommentsI took this image near Marysville last year. I guess it shows how well the Australian bush can bounce back after a massive trauma. I was here two years ago before the fire and I was in awe of the place. Looks very different now, but the residents are starting to rebuild, starting with the tourist industry. When I was there a large marque filled with local produce, a cafe, and the original bakery which survived was doing a great trade. I look forward to visiting again next year to see how the regeneration has progressed.
