Heading towards home with HDR

Heading towards home & experimenting with HDR

The ship leaves port about 6pm and arrived in Devonport, Tasmania about 6am, disembarking at 6.30am.  Then go through Quarantine again which consists of Sniffer Dogs and people.  Tasmania has strict quarantine laws.
We enjoy sailing at night time, we eat dinner on the ship, then go to the shop on board to have a look, then off to the cabin shower and into bed, fall asleep and wake up in not enough time to get ready to disembark.  You have to remember what level you have parked your vehicle, the levels go in colours and letters, so it's the matter of going down the right stairs of the ship or lifts.


Waiting in line to go through Quarantine in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.  Then wait in line again till we can drive on board.

Narrandera, NSW

Narrandera is a place that appeals to me.  The people are friendly but so are they in other towns.
The streets are wide with some lovely buildings and trees to keep some streets cooler in the summer.
Lost count of how many times we have passed through and sometimes stayed at Narrandera.
This was out last port of call as in stopping before heading to Melbourne to catch the ship home....from one shore to another.

I have been fiddling with HDR High Dynamic Range with my photos.  It seems I do what I think looks nice and sometimes it's very different. I saw where Diane has tried it out. 
After reading many tutorials I decided to do what I like, as I don't always like what the 'so called' experts have done - each to his own.

These photos are all of Narrandera done in HDR.

The Ceramic Royal Daulton Fountain, the second one of it's kind in the world.  The other one is to be found in Karachi, in Pakistan.
