This is a view of The Royal Exhibition Building from Carlton Gardens in Melbourne, Victoria. It was the first building in Australia to be awarded UNESCO world heritage status as it is one of the last remaining 19th Century exhibition buildings. Today it is the largest item in Museum Victoria’s collection.

Adios Adelaide

We have fixed our van and are preparing to leave Adelaide tomorrow morning. We have had a great time here and have been made most welcome by Val’s friend Blan who took us for a wonderful dinner at The Hackney Hotel. We can highly recommend the Windsor Caravan Park as everybody was really helpful and the setting is lovely. We are looking forward to the Great Ocean Drive down to Melbourne.

Portmeirion Square

This is Portmeirion in Wales. Site of the 60′s TV series The Prisoner. To process this image I added Vibrance to boost the colour. Vibrance was introduced in Photoshop CS4. It was designed to add saturation without making skin tones look unnatural. In this image there is no skin but vibrance does give the affect of adding saturation without distorting the Mediterranean wall colours. I fixed the blown out sky using techniques from this video.
