Melinda and I went for a few days to the English countryside, Dorset to be more precise, as a “Geeks in the Country” gathering organized by Sheila. It was literally like the holiday I didn’t have this year and exactly what I need to relax a bit. 

I am almost done uploading the photos that I took. Dorset is simply gorgeous and I had to limit myself to the amount of photos I could upload. Here are some of the best picks though.

Geeks in the Country - Melplash Show

We went to the Melplash show and had a look at the animals. Never been to a show like this but I really enjoyed it.

During the show they had some parachutists drop in, but unfortunately we were standing in the smoke created by the orientation-flare.

 

West Bay Cliffs (HDR)

I also tried my hand at some HDR to capture the beauty of the country side, and I think they worked out pretty well. I love especially how the next one doesn’t look too much like a HDR.

 

West Bay Harbour (HDR)

The village of West Bay in HDR. Quite gorgeous.

 

Geeks in the Country - Cliffs

These cliffs look like they are made of gold. Wish I could have taken them with me to make more photos of at home.

Geeks in the Country - Durdle Door

Durdle Door. Absolutely amazing. The walk to it is quite a joy too.

 

Dorset Panorama

Besides HDR I also tried my hand at some panorama’s. They worked out quite nice too.
