A Panoramic View

November 28, 2006 /

I was going through some of my photos from my trip to Djoodood during the last holidays, and came across one that I never got around to posting. Playing around with my tripod and camera, I took a set of photos with the aim of producing a panoramic image of the wonderful bay there.

Derek painstakingly put together the Manning Pool image using Gimp, while the one above took me about 15 seconds to put together. Admittedly, it doesn’t look quite as good, but I still highly recommend taking a look at DoubleTake for panoramic shots – it is shareware (and only works with OSX), but the ease of use is brilliant!

Dave, Docker the Dog and Djoodood

October 13, 2006 /
During the second week of the October school holidays, Emma and I travelled up the One Arm Point road to Djoodood, just south of Lombadina. Our deputy principal, Dave Leslie, invited us along with two other couples, to his property situated on a small cliff above beautiful white beaches and very fishy reef.

The week was spent almost in a blissful routine of an early morning walk along the beach with a camera, followed by a fishing expedition in the boat (catching feeds of mackeral, bluebone, cod and north-west snapper), stomping through mangroves collecting enormous mudcrabs, and finishing with an evening wander through the low-tide pools picking up lovely blue-manna crabs.

Admittedly, the trip out along the One Arm Point road was memorable for the wrong reasons – although were were lucky to only come away with one flat tyre, a somewhat suspect exhast system and a speedometer that doesn’t seem to work much any more.

Check out some of the pics we took at the Photo Gallery!
