Gethin Hill .net - Random Ramblings

I’ve got a lot of sorting and post-processing that i’ve been slack with, so i thought i’d better get onto some of it and see what i’ve got that might be ok to add to my slow growing gallery.

I’ve found a couple that i took a month ago, on the 13th of June, on a day trip out to where i grew up for a couple of years during my childhood, Shornecliffe and Sandgate

For these shots, i thought i’d try a couple of new post-processing techniques that i’ve never used before.

The shot of the pier was turned into a High Dynamic Range Image (HDRI) from a single RAW file. I’ve never done this before.. not with any success anyway, however, i didn’t mind how it came out with this Sangate Pier photo.

The second image was turned into a High Dynamic Range Image (HDRI) in my most common way.. via 3 different exposures combined together.  However, what i did differently with this image, that i’ve never tried before, was attempt to simulate a blue gradient filter in the sky, digitally using Photoshop.

I’ll explain my techniques and the software i use in more detail some time soon.

Well today, i decided to attempt, yet again, to get Wordpress going as a blog and content management system..  this time however, i stuck with it, kept reading and persevering, and eventually, about 6 hours later, here it is!

My blog, complete with custom theme!  I know, it’s basic, but i’m still getting my head around this Wordpress customization  stuff…  As time goes on, i’m sure i’ll slowly customize it more and more, until it looks slick and polished.

But for now, it’s fully functional and ready for me to write something in it..

well, i’ll keep you posted!
