...for a film and tv technician usually means one of two things: getting stuff done... and sleep.
my attempt at the first part has met with varying degrees of success over the past week and a half.
for example, one day last week, I managed to renew my car registration, and get a new drivers licence. (but not at the same location...) while juggling several phone calls, doing the grocery shopping, and hitting the gym. all in all a fairly successful day.
today was time for the car service - and since I HATE waiting around in those "customer lounges" for the usually short time it takes to change the oil and give the car a once over, I decided to go for a little walk.
Newstead/Tenneriffe - the story bridge, as I had to drop off some employment documents.
not a long distance, as a bird might see it. But filled with various meandering curves and river crossings.
i also hadn't taken my SLR out in a while, so I decided to make a day of it, and take some shots.
I've been meaning to play around with HDR photography, since - before I went overseas at the beginning of the year (i even took a bunch of RAW, bracketed photos of the Vancouver harbour with the idea of later processing them)
here are the results.

One more week of freedom, before a 5 week telemovie... it's almost entirely set in a prison camp, so fun times ahead...
