Aurora Photo Processing Software

I’ve used various post processing programs in the past as part of my workflow and I’ve got to say I’m absolutely loving the power, speed and simplicity of Macphun ‘s. Aurora HDR Pro. for Mac users.

These were taken at the Hobbiton Movie Set in Matamata, New Zealand. You can see the rest of the photos I took that day at the Hobbiton Movie Set here. They were all processed through Aurora HDR Pro.

Rachelle had never been there and I was keen to re-visit to get photos.

I’d been meaning to go see this since ANZCA Day 2015, but never got round to it.

In December 2013 we were in Whitianga. While we were there we book a fishing trip with Epic Adventures. Finally got some time for putting it together. As they say, “Better late then never.”
