Oh What a Beautiful Morning - Moods Of A City - The HDR Experience by Philip Johnson
BEST VIEWED LARGER 85 Favouritings / Thank you for your views, comments and favouritings / Right Spot – CHECK / No Boats – CHECK / Enough Cloud – CHECK / That Consistency to the Water – CHECK / Lights in varying colours – Check / Reflections on Water – Check / Run for the D300 and the tripod – DEFINITELY Caught a range of shots on this Friday morning reached my vantage point about 5.30am. I saw these reflections and ran for the camera. Sydney Harbour like a mill pond before the many vessels start their morning trips and disturbing it’s surface. The other factor is that look to the water surface that landscape photographers might know it’s like a oily look to the water that lends itself to wonderful reflective surface. It took many shots of Sydney Harbour this morning, if, and you should have seen the sunrise that followed . WAIT ! yes i have photos of that as well.

Iridescent Clouds ~ Alaska Brilliant Skies ~ Diffraction and Prismatic Colours by Sharon Mau
Iridescent Clouds, Diffraction and Prismatic Colours ~ Atmospheric Optics / Imaged near Tok Alaska in the beautiful Tanana River Valley Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Featured Art 06 June 2009 Abstract Digital Art and Writing / Featured Art 03 June 2009 Atmospheric Optics / “Iridescence in clouds most often occurs close to the sun. It is best seen when the sun is hidden. When parts of clouds are thin and have similar size droplets, diffraction can make them shine with colours like a corona. In fact, the colours are essentially corona fragments. The effect is called cloud iridescence or irisation, terms derived from Iris the Greek personification of the rainbow. The usually delicate colours can be in almost random patches or bands at cloud edges. They are only organised into coronal rings when the droplet size is uniform right across the cloud. The bands and colours change or come and go as the cloud evolves. They occur most often in altocumulus, cirrocumulus and especially in lenticular clouds. Iridescence is seen mostly when part of a cloud is forming because then all the droplets have a similar history and consequently have a similar size. Sometimes iridescence may be seen far from the sun but is most frequently near to it.” Information Source: Atmospheric Optics – Iridescent Clouds Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / Shooting Date/Time 13 September 2007 18:12:22 / Tv 1/500 Av 20.0 Exposure Compensation 0 / Curves White Balance Adjustment in Post Processing / ISO 125 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 135.0 mm

It's Morphin' Annie, Not Orphan Annie by David McMahon
This unposed shot of a stranger was taken last Friday. I was shooting the front of Hamer Hall when this lady walked past and sat down in bright springtime sunshine near the front of the theatre entrance. I lined up the shot immediately, so as to preserve her complete anonymity – but there was a special problem. A huge brass pillar in front of the theatre seemed as if it was blending into her hair. In order to work around this problem, I just waited a few seconds. All I needed was one person – on a very busy afternoon – to walk between my subject and Hamer Hall, thus providing some contrast. As you can discern if you look carefully, this man was wearing dark trousers and a white shirt, which not only provided some depth of field, but a contrast of tones as well. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my work in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F8, 1/180, ISO 400, focal length 300mm.

Serenity - Newport,Sydney - The HDR Experience by Philip Johnson
MUCH BETTER VIEWED LARGER Thankyou for visiting , your favouritings, comments and views are greatly appreciated. A marvelous sunset setting with the threat of a storm, with clouds threatening the serenity. Newport is about 30 kilometres from Sydney by road, its where I call home. And to those in the Northern Hemisphere its what we call summer. This is a area regularly used in television and movies, and locations around the area are used for such soap operas as Home and Away’s “Summer Bay” Equipment: Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm, Handheld Technique: HDR , 5 Bracketted Exposures, Photomatix 3.2 64 Bit

The Minster is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the second-highest office of the Church of England, and is cathedral for the Diocese of York; it is run by a Dean and Chapter under the Dean of York. The formal title of York Minster is The Cathedral and Metropolitan Church of St Peter in York. Services in the Minster are sometimes regarded as on the high church Anglo-Catholicism side of the Anglican scale. / It has a very wide Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, a Perpendicular Gothic choir and east end, and Early English north and south transepts. The nave contains the West Window, constructed in 1338, and over the Lady Chapel in the east end is the Great East Window, (finished in 1408), the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. In the north transept is the Five Sisters Window, each lancet being over 16 metres (52 ft) high.

This organ was reconstructed in 1859 by William Hill and Sons. The case remained intact, but a large amount of new pipework was introduced. / In 1901, J.W. Walker and Sons undertook reconstruction. Walkers added a considerable amount of new pipework. / A small amount of work was undertaken in 1915 by Harrison & Harrison and the famous Tuba Mirabilis was added. Other minor work was undertaken in fits and starts by the same firm until 1928. In 1961 J.W. Walker rebuilt it, and it was cleaned in 1982. / The fire of 1984 affected the organ but not irreparably; the damage hastened the time for a major restoration, which was begun in 1991 and finished a year later by Geoffrey Coffin, who had at one time been assistant organist at the Minster. / Details of the organ from the National Pipe Organ Register. / Shot handheld with a Nikon D300 and Sigma 10-20mm lens / f5 / 1/30 sec / ISO 2000 / 10mm
