Beach Paradise was taken when I was in Honduras.
During our visit to the Barrington region we stayed at the Barrington Retreat cabins. They are located just outside the Chiseter Dam. The creek runs past the Picnic viewing area and this little rapid with a small area of rainforest was there. The mossy rock and tree caught my eye and I wanted to catch a Pano of it showing the creek flowing past. This is a 2 image Pano shot with a Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm VR lens. A polariser and a 2 stop ND filter had the exposure time at 8 seconds at f16. The images were combined in CS3.

My wife and I recently spent a week in the Barrington tops region north of Newcastle. Not only is it beautiful country but it is close to home. Our first night there a storm was passing just to the south of us through Dungog. This was a lightning strike close to us and the flash illuminated the rain falling from the clouds. As the storm was far away I had the apeture open to f4 which is fine for distant lightning but terrible for a close flash. I have had to adjust in Camera Raw to get the details of the lightning stike as good as I can. not other adjustments have been done. Image taken with a Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm lens at f4 and 30sec exposure.
For FailingMemory.. / Lal Lal is in the middle of the Gold fields, between Buninyong and Elaine, and my where i live.. / Victoria’s only attempt at mining and smelting iron ore took place at Lal Lal in the latter stages of the nineteenth century. In the mid 1870s, the Lal Lal Iron Company installed mining machinery, erected a large blast furnace and constructed a tramway to convey ore from the mine. For a brief time in the early 1880s, the Lal Lal Company had over 100 men engaged in mining and smelting the iron ore, gathering limestone (flux) and firewood, and manufacturing charcoal. The company also operated a foundry at Ballarat. The Lal Lal Iron Works had ceased operations by the end of the 1880s. The Lal Lal Iron Mine and Smelting Works is of historical, archaeological and scientific importance to the State of Victoria. The site is already listed on the Register of the National Estate. The Lal Lal Iron Mine and Smelting Works is historically and scientifically important as the site of the State’s only attempt to smelt iron ore with a blast furnace. The significance of the site is enhanced by the substantial remnants of the blast furnace being of its type surviving in the southern hemisphere. The Lal Lal Iron Mine and Smelting Works is scientifically important for its illustration of local adaptation of imported iron smelting technology. The design of the furnace, construction materials, and smelting technique used at the site harking back to 18th century European iron smelting technology. The site is archaeologically important for its potential to yield artefacts and evidence which will be able to provide significant information about the technological history of mining.

The sign used to have an add for accomodation in it however, the advertising has been removed but the signposting still stands. It provides the perfect opportunity to create a ‘view within a view’. I placed my Wattle Flowers image over the corrugated iron in the frame and reduced the opacity. Then I added a noisy border to the wattle flowes and toned it to match the “coppers logs” frame of the signboard. Image taken on vacant land along the Castlereagh Highway at Ben Bullen, NSW Australia in the Blue Mountains. Wattle Flower Card Steel Flowers / The original image /
