Ely Cathedral on Christmas Night
This is a photograph of the historic Ely cathedral on christmas day. 3 pictures are exposures between 14 and 52 seconds were bracketed to produce this picture.
Processed in Adobe Lightroom and Photomatix Pro.
Winter Rose
It is a sign of the mild winter here in Cambridge so far. I photographed this rose in my garden over the weekend (14 December, 2013). It is rather strange to see a bright rose at this time of the year, and therefore merits a blog post of its own!
Three-shot bracketed HDR processed in Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.
Gnarled and twisted..
A tree at the Fossil Rim Wildlife Park in Glen Rose, Texas. Handheld HDR of 3-bracketed exposures merged in Photomatix Pro.
Enter if you dare!!
Fortress
I’ve got you pegged!!
I have this thing about taking pictures of clothesline pegs! They seem to come in a myriad of colours, shapes and textures. In other words they are ideal for experimenting with photography… Take the example below.
Simulated HDR processing of a single photograph in Photomatix Pro.
An Ostrich – HDR
I managed to get three quick shots in quick succession to be able to process this photo as a HDR. At the fossil rim wildlife centre in Glen Rose, Texas.
“Freedom Tower” – Manhattan
The events of the 9th of September, 2001 are permanently etched in the memories of us all who were witness to a dastardly act of terrorism. In place of the previous twin world trade centre towers now stands the colloquially termed “Freedom Tower“. One World Trade Centre, as this new building is called arose from the ruins like the mythical phoenix from the ashes to reclaim the Manhattan skyline. The spire on top of the tower makes the height of the building 1776 ft, symbolic to the 1776AD US declaration of independence.
These photographs were taken from the NY-Liberty ferry as 3 bracketed shots at -2, 0 and +2. Processed as HDR in Photomatix Pro. The day was overcast and grey and this is reflected in the rather unimpressive sky tones.

MiG 17F, Vietnam Air Force -HDR
Building upon the Korean War success of the Soviet MiG-15, this single seat MiG-17F had wings that were more sharply swept back and a longer fuselage. This aircraft’s maneuverability and cannon-armament proved legendary in dog fights. It could out-maneuver american missiles and out-fly larger american fighters. NATO gave the code-word “Fresco” to the MiG17. The Vietnamese called the painted versions of this plane “Snakes” (From the description on the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space museum).
Photographed on the hangar deck of the USS Intrepid, now the home of the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space museum in New York. 3-shot handheld bracketed HDR rendering.

MiG-21 Polish Air Force – HDR
The Intrepid Sea, Air and Space museum in New York is surely one of the many unmissable sights in the city. The museum is based on the now decommissioned aircraft carrier USS Intrepid. The photo below is of a Polish Air Force MiG-21 fighter aircraft on the hangar deck of USS Intrepid. Behind this is a PZL-Mielec Lim-5 (MiG-17F) plane from the Vietnam Air Force painted in blue. The photo itself is a 3-shot bracketed HDR rendering with the Manhattan skyline in the background.
