Awesome pics - they look fine on my monitor.

You been getting any waves? I'm back tonight, and hanging out for a surf.

I'll be keen for Hutt if it's on. Looks like there's some waves today and tomorrow forecast.

There's some nice waves in Dunedin today, I popped down to St Kilda to have a look this morning.

final ones of the day, the first one in particaulr was a random shot, i was walking by a family of surfers, with their friends, and this was the scene ona beatiful summers night it was 10.15 pm, and i think it eptimises everything we love about summer and surfing,

i was using the night vision section also on them - why it appears a little lighter than it actually was but as photgraphers - you cant miss a chance can you.

ok so i tried an HDR or two.....but I think I liked some of the originals as much or better. After doing them they came out foggy and i re-did the levels to see.

I'll post a correctly exposed on for ya'll to compare when i get around to it.

I will go to the bank, and make 5 bucks into GBP and mail it to you if you know what it is.

Ok well it's part of an asphalt/tarmac/whatever ya'll call it plant, different grade stone is dumped in the top of this thing, then it filters through and falls on the conveyor belt below it.

So apparently 8-bit looks better....(???) I really don't know. Someone suggested a different technique that doesn't involve photoshop. I don't really know.

Anyone else try it? Give it a whirl it's kinda fun!
