What is there to know about Pofadder? Well according to Wikitravel not much, or to be even more precise – nothing! Even Wikipedia’s is very vague about the dusty little town:

Pofadder (meaning Puff Adder in English) is a very small town in the Northern Cape region of South Africa. The surrounding districts are arid, sparsely populated, rugged and picturesque. There is little in the way of cropping and local farmers run sheep or goats for a living.

If anybody out there (even in Pofadder) knows more, in terms of some basic stats, like Pofadders’ population or even crime rates, please let me know – I’m intrigued!

To get a better idea about where Pofadder is located, click on the screenshot below, everything else becomes quite self explanatory…

I’ve been going through some old RAW images of mine, in order to re-use them to produce some HDR images.

I didn’t use auto-bracketing for this HDR effect, instead I used a single RAW file and saved three variations of it. I’m not convinced that this is the best way of producing effective HDR images, even though I really like the results.

My first attempt at HDR photo processing, I think it came out quite well. Note to self thou: Next time – use tripod!!!
