South Perth Photoshoot – Panoramics

Posted in: Uncategorized by on October 21, 2008

Finally, I have managed to stich together the photos from the South Perth photoshoot.  I have been searching for a decent program to stitch them together.  I tried the tools provided with Adobe Photoshop Elements and from Canon with no luck.  Today Martin suggested I try autostitch.  So I downloaded a copy and gave it a go.  Voila!  The best results so far!  Initially, I was concerned about the distinct colour change to the right of the old swan brewery (In the water) but this is actually apparent in the original (and is not a stich point).

As you may recognise, the first is Perth city at Dawn (taken at 0649 on 09 October 2008) taken from South Perth and the second is the Old Swan Brewery taken from South Perth near the Narrows Bridge

South Perth Photoshoot – Narrow Lines

Posted in: Uncategorized by on October 12, 2008

I have been going though my photos form this shoot looking for interesting pics to post.  This photo came out better than I first thought.  I find the lines of the bridge quite intersting.  I have titled it “Narrow Lines” as the bridge is the Narrows Bridge.  I believe the bridge is so named as it spans the narrowest part of the Swan River.

Yesterday, Martin, Sam, Bas, Andreas and I met up at the South Perth foreshore to take photo’s of the sunrise. 

The morning started off predawn with some cloud cover starting to cover the sky.  This cover moved pretty quickly and In very little time cleared the sky – It cleared the horizon before the sun had risen and left the sunrise looking a little ordinary.

The pic above is one I took whilst walking along the foreshore looking for other photo opportunities.  The vessel is the Paddle Steamer Decoy, an operational paddle steamer operating on the Swan river.

 Afterwards, we all wandered into the Mends Street Cafe for brekky before the others had to head off to work.  😉

More pics to come soon!
