Just a peaceful street scene
Posted by gavomatic57 in Photography on March 31, 2009
Just a peaceful street scene, originally uploaded by dopeitout. An enterprising Flickr user has posted these re-spin’s of the Government’s police-state posters. Whilst they are amusing and cleverly done, they do raise some important questions about the future of our society. Are we really walking into a George Orwell inspired nightmare where we are constantly [...]
The Glamorganshire Canal, what's left of it.

The Glamorganshire Canal, what’s left of it., originally uploaded by Gavin Lewis. I like this place. It’s like an oasis of calm surrounded by the motorway, the dual carriageway and a busy railway line. Formerly a busy waterway (back in 1790) it is now a nature reserve, home to kingfishers, heron’s and all manner of [...]
When man meets nature
Posted by gavomatic57 in Photography on March 28, 2009
When man meets nature, originally uploaded by Gavin Lewis. I’ve bought a B&W ND8 filter and I’ve been having some fun with it. In this shot I stacked an ND8, a 2-stop ND Grad and a circular polariser onto my 18-55mm lens to allow me to get a 2 second exposure at f22 at around [...]
Penarth Beach at Sunrise

Penarth Beach at Sunrise, originally uploaded by Gavin Lewis. I am absolutely stunned at how quickly the view count on my photo of Penarth pier has racked up. 90 since yesterday evening. Hooray! Still, blissfully ignored by Explore so far! Decided to meet up with some fellow flickr users to catch a sunrise and make [...]

Sittin’ on the dock of the Bay, originally uploaded by Gavin Lewis. Went out to take some photo’s with a few people I was introduced to through Flickr. Nice bunch of people, but as always the actual photo taking was touch & go! I managed to at least pull one or two nice ones out [...]

Dunraven Bay, Southerndown
Posted by gavomatic57 in Photography on March 17, 2009
Dunraven Bay, Southerndown, originally uploaded by Gavin Lewis. Long exposure shots! At last! Thanks to the purchase of a new tripod I can let the camera do it’s thing without me having to stand rigid, trying not to move! Dunraven bay seems to be a magnet for photographers – not surprising when you consider the [...]
Cardiff Bay HDR
Posted by gavomatic57 in Photography on March 12, 2009
Cardiff Bay HDR, originally uploaded by Gavin Lewis. Probably my best attempt at a HDR image – 3 bracketed NEF files merged in QTPFSGUI. Camera sat on a wall, held firmly while it exposes for a few seconds. Came out better than I thought it would. QTPFSGUI is a free program that is easily obtainable [...]
Roman Baths

Roman Baths, originally uploaded by Gavin Lewis. Fascinating place, would love to be able to go there at night with the lanterns lit, to give the lighting an interesting spin.
