The Moeraki Boulders are large and spherical boulders lying along a stretch of Koekohe Beach, not far from Oamuru. The technical term for these formations is septarian concretions, these concretions come out of the surrounding mudstone when it is weathered, leaving the boulders on the beach.<\/p>\n

The Group visited to the boulders to take photos in quite overcast conditions. Dean set up the Camera and filters for these shots, giving The Doc suggestions for composition. Exposures were varied using 2, 5 and 10 seconds for the portrait shots. The time used plus when you released the shutter materially changed the results.<\/p>\n

Not much done in the way of post processing of the images.<\/p>\n
