Solitary Swimmer

Depsite a couple of hours kayaking this afternoon, no photos taken today (which just happens to be my birthday). So you'll have to put up with me experimenting with the archives and a photo of my 12-year-old sister-in-law Laura swimming at Currumbin on the Gold Coast. This is a HDR from 6 exposures of a RAW image, taken a few days ago on a trip to the Gold Coast. I'm not entirely happy with the result, particularly the halo around the rocks in the bottom right, but nobody pays me for this, so it'll do :). Here is the original for comparison. Finally, you might notice a new link to "Kylie's Artworks" up the top of the page. I've set up a gallery for her using PixelPost. I'm sure you'd make her day if you went and made a comment or two!

• Actually, I thought the processed file looks ok; nice and moody, and the rocks, rock, if you know what I mean?

• I like the mood that is brought out in the HDR version. Often feel that process gives a ‘painted’ feel because that’s the tonal depth I’d aim for in oils/acrylic.

• More like a solitary wader. Still perfect shot into the light.
