Gallery visits
I'm really enjoying the extra visits to local art galleries. We have some lovely ones here on the Mornington Peninsula. I highly recommend the Manyung Gallery in Mt Eliza. It is in a beautiful setting, has great art and sculptures and a very nice cafe.

You Were In My Dream
Artists: Van Sowerwine and Isobel Knowles
2nd term
2nd term has started off well. Seems like we have more time to do assignments and less 'extra curricular projects' (installations) to try to get our heads around.
I'm now attending every After Effects and Premier Pro class, even though this means missing story boarding. AE and Premier were my main stressors last term as i was trying to do the assignments without being able to attend the in class lessons. Something had to give, and storyboards is it.
I'm enjoying regular outing to local art galleries, the Peninsula was quite a good arts community and therefore several great galleries.
Next trip will be Manyung gallery in Mt Eliza, they always have wonderful art and sculptures as well as a lovey cafe.

Mc Clelland gallery visit
I visited the gallery and sculpture park last week. Loved most of the sculptures but the artworks David Wadelton: icons of suburbia were not my cup of tea.

HDR PHOTOGRAPHY blurb
Unfortunately i was unable to attend the 1st leason of term 2 on HDR, as i needed to attend the afternoon session of drawing, and when i arrived early in week 2 for the HDR class David was away unwell. Hopefully by week 3, I can get some in-class instruction.
I went up to Mt Dandenong and took what i thought would be some lovely HDR images, however when i got home and tried to merge the 3 exposures I realised that you REALLY DO NEED to use a tripod. I thought that the HDR software would line up the images, but unless you use a tripod the images are too difficult for it to line them up nicely.
Anyway, we live and learn. So once the weather stops raining i'll go out and take more images, and keep practicing, it seems like an excellent photographic skill to have up ones sleeve.
