hi Mez what was your favourite place to photograph
Meredith, can you point out where some images are film images and some are digital
So wonderful to take this journey with you.
Thanks Lovely
You missed Wolfe Creek! Any reasons? Haha
With 12k photos how do you cull then curate your presentation?
Do you shoot HDR ????
Out of the 12,000 images you took , how many did you cull ???
Not sure! I’d say I use 40%
Hi Mez, those flies were the worst!!!
Further to my last, is ‘focus stacking’ something you do ????
Did you ever get towed
Do you do much in B& W
What is your favourite camera?
How many litres of fuel did you use on your trip?
How do you keep a consistent colour palette?
Would you go on another trip around australia?
Did you review and edit any of your images whilst you were on the trip, or did you just shoot and enjoy the adventure?
Do you only use Lightroom ?
90% of the time, I use photoshop for ‘neg stacking’ and interpolating.
Proud of you not swearing, that must have been hard and thanks for mentioning the club. Loved this format, worked really well.
LOL!
Is Sean a good photographer
Yes, I taught him everything! haha no really he is, he doesn’t like direction though, he needs to be a free bird.
Thanks for the trip! I really love the colours of the salt lakes. Your book looks great. I always make a photobook and currently doing one on last year’s activities (although few).
