Having Fun...Oh and a Freebie!!!

I have to say I had a brilliant day yesterday with my hunny...he has decided to take up photography again, YAY for me now I have someone to go with me on photo shoots :) His weapon of choice is the Olympus E-620 (yes he got one not me...lol) as he wants to do HDR photography. Basically you take three photos of the same subject and change the exposure on two - one under exposed and one over exposed...then smush them together in photoshop playing with blending modes and stuff...the end result is quite stunning and dramatic.



So yesterday we went out and about a couple of hours from home. Where we live we have three power stations, wind turbines (in the hills where the weather is even colder...EEK!), lots of countryside and dairy farms, so plenty of things to snap. Let me just say the weather was atrocious...we are in the middle of winter, the sky was full of rain heavy grey clouds...wind blowing a gale and temp around the 10oC mark...brrrr not my type of weather :(

BUT...we had a really great day together and I took some great photos to scrap...
