Autumn in Harrington, NSW, with some sunshine and the GX7
May 24, 2015

WARNING: BIFs involving seagulls! LOL.
Well, the sun came out a bit before lunch in lovely Harrington today so no crisp, bright early morning pictures, no dramatic lighting, but some attemts st stuff with the GX7. This time I had both the 12-32 and 45-150 lenses in action. I also tried the 9-36 but found it not to provide me with the pix I want.
I also tried a 7 shot panorama with the 12-32 set to 25 but there was a white rail fence in the foreground and that completely fooled PTGui so the pano ended up in a curve despite the fact that I had been very careful to keep the horizon straight. What I failed to do was keep the back of the camera vertical, it seems to me. Anyway, the pano reduced significant elements of the picture to insignificance.
So -- yesterday I took a BIF or two with the 12-32 @ 32. Today I unleashed the 45-150 on those gulls and pelicans.
Oops -- an early miss! LOL.

Ah, that's better! They fly a lot slower into the wind, don't they? Cropped to about a third the image area.
Okay at 50%, doesn't really make the cut at 100%, but getting there. Cropped to about two thirds the image area.
The breakwater across one half of the Manning River's mouth.
Enjoying the view (they enjoyed watching me labor up the hill on foot!)
It was windy, so fun with a kite.
A pretty pleasant spot, Harrington.
