摩拉基大圆石:日出

选择性HDR

铁杆读者对我的技巧已非常了解。但想必大家也明白,HDR 只是最终作品的”表达”。也就是说,HDR几乎无处不在。但有些地方调整了 0% ,而另一处则是100%。随着视线在照片各处移动,其间又会有不同的变化。比如,我就特别喜欢下面这张照片中阳光“迸射”的感觉。如果用通常的HDR手法处理,这种感觉便会全然消失。有时候这种感觉也不错……我就是难以捉摸啊,跟女人一样……

每日一瞥——摩拉基大圆石:日出

 

摩拉基圆石滩的清晨风景真是迷人!如果有意来玩的话,建议上网作如下功课:

1) 查看潮汐。找个低潮的早晨。

2) 查看太阳方位以及时间。

把这两个方面计划妥当,就可以跑去啦,然后在摩拉基住一宿。想必你也不想因为搞错状况而白费力气。

每日一瞥——莫拉奇:展翅翱翔

我们来到Fleurs郊外的莫拉奇。那里有个废弃的码头,直面夕阳下的海湾。我很喜欢这里,它是东海岸为数不多拥有西向海景的地方。

拍这些鸟可不是容易事。要不断尝试,还要算准时间!我不想拍太多鸟类特写——不是我风格……但我很喜欢将它们置于惬意的风景之内!

摩拉基的卵石无论何时看都是那么美,但光线最出彩的还属早上。因为东朝大海,日出之时阳光会从岩石后直射过来。不过别担心,如果你还无法决定何时能来,这里一年四季都很美。任何时间来都不会失望。

The Mysterious Moeraki Boulders

The Great Richard MacManus of the Great New Zealand

In the last two months, I’ve gotten to meet two great Kiwis: Richard MacManus (founder of ReadWriteWeb), and Ray Furgeson (NZ Ambassador to the US). John P, who put up the video of my art yesterday, set up a dinner down in Austin during SXSW with me, Richard MacManus, Elyssa Pallai, Cali Lewis, Sean Ammirati. We ate at the famous Oasis here in Austin and saw a beautiful sunset. John gave us all a secret look at some sweet new features of Woopra before we bloated ourselves on Mexican food. It was great!

I also was very happy to find out more about Richard, his background, and more about the way he thinks about things. I’ve always been a fan of ReadWriteWeb, and even went out to their “Real Time Web” conference last year. I hope I didn’t bore Richard and Elyssa by talking about my plans to move my family and StuckInCustoms.com to New Zealand… but I just get quite excited about their country. Maybe with today’s photo of the strange spherical boulders, you’ll see why.

If you want to find out more about what it looks like there, just click the New Zealand category here on the site!

Daily Photo – The Mysterious Moeraki Boulders

These are some of the most mysterious and alien structures I have ever seen!

Yesterday I remarked that I had a major in computer science. Well, for a short time, I had a double-major in comp sci and Geophysics. I got pretty deep into it until I had a fight with a Geology teacher over an intellectual matter (he was wrong and still is), and I dropped that half of the major. Anyway, it never dulled my interest in rocks and Earth science. So, when I saw these strange round rocks for the first time, I was extra-fascinated. Not that I had any idea what they were. My years of geology training did me no good at all… I think it was even more frustrating because I knew all the things they could not be. The remaining possibilities just seemed off-the-chart impossible.

And worse, I didn’t have a mobile connection to Wikipedia to help me figure it all out with my iPhone-tricorder!

After I got back, I was able to figure out a bit more of the arcane science around it all. Even more interesting, I read that 12 miles south of this spot is another are called the “Katki Boulders”. They contain the bones of mosasaurs and plesiosaurs. Cool!
