HDR photography

I wrote earlier about the technique of photography where you take several exposures of a scene and combine them to make a richer photo with greater than normal dynamic range.

Serge Ramelli gives a good YouTube tutorial on how to do it.

Raptors

There is a tourist attraction called 'Raptor Domain'. It is pretty well done, and gave us a chance to get near to birds that are hard to see close-up in the wild.

The south coast of Kangaroo Island hosts colonies of both NZ fur seals, and Australian sea lions (which are a species of seal).
