Spent the day on Coral Island, Phuket.. near my resort hotel at Cape Panwa…
Was a relaxing day, as you can see the weather was nice for this time of year (rainy season) and we all enjoyed ourselves…

On Thursday I woke up in Indo, spent the day in Malaysia, and went to bed in Thailand.. so when I woke up on Friday you can understand why I did not move from this beach all day!! This is Cape Panwa… we are staying at the Cape Hotel for a couple of days… as you can see it is very nice here. We spent the morning in the little pool you can see behind the trees… I dont think many people knew about it as we had it all to ourselves..
Cronulla, Sydney This is a HDR frame from time lapse movie you can check out here HDR Timelapse
Cronulla Beach, Sydney
This short time lapse is a much better attempt than my last, with hardly any flickering or jitters. After taking the rainbow shot (See below) I turned camera towards the storm front and recorded above time lapse over about 10 minutes…
Each frame is a HDR photo made from 2 shots 1 EV apart. Towards the end I was lucky enough to record a lightning bolt… I will use this frame as my picture tomorrow…
Wanda Beach, Sydney
I went down to Cronulla for a surf after work as usual.. making the most of the last 2 weeks of Daylight Savings Time.. but there was no surf to be had… there was however, a nice storm front coming through, complete with half a rainbow… This picture was taken looking North.. the storm moved up from the South.. I took a short HDR time lapse movie of the front moving up as the sunset and even managed to capture a lightning strike so the above was actually my second best pic of the day… I’m still processing the HDR time lapse.. they take ages… and will put up shortly..
I haven’t tried a time lapse for a while, and had to learn everything I’d forgotten all over. Unfortunately the sun only set once yesterday so you get to see all my mistakes as I make them…
First up… forgot to set manual exposure, so there is some flickering at the start (caused when camera goes back and forth between shutter speeds)
Second.. left VR on my 18-200.. so you get some wobble. Pretty sure this is VR .. zoom creep wouldn’t go back.
And lastly.. set interval at 1 shot every 3 seconds, so pretty short film. I first tried 1 sec, but was shooting raw so I could tonemap and buffer filled up quick. I think camera could handle 1 every 2 secs pretty easy…
*Sigh*.. I’ll try to do better next time…
Nobbys Beach, Newcastle
From Elizabeth Bay we drove non stop back to Newcastle, but didn’t arrive with enough time to surf and we missed the $10 Chicken Parmy and Schmiddy deal at the RSL club… we ended up eating pizza in our room at the Travelodge and watching the cricket… Well, thats another trip done. Next one planned is May to Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand…
