Wow - that is dramatic. Beautiful sky too. Both images could use a little more sharpening to add crisp edges to the contrasty tones.

NIce!

I did upload the images to Lightroom following Photomatix for the typical "sharpening" that I usually run on my images. But, I couldn't see any changes so I discarded and resized with PS. Thanks for the tip none the less.

Awesome work!

Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you. Each image was created using 3 RAW files and were pp'ed in Photomatix.

Thanks again for all the feedback. I may post a few more this evening if you guys care to see more....

Hand held?

El cheapo Wal-Mart tripod. My g/f did let me use her Manfrotto / Giotto tripod for a few minutes to remind me that I need to seriously ditch the cheapy :p

Those are some fantastic shots. Love to
see more.

Thank you. Will post more this evening :cool:

Fantastic shots. I'm beginning to "see the light" with HDR, though I feel it could be dangerous due to the concept of an "ordinary" picture looking dull by comparison.

Gonna give it a try though!

AWESOME WORK! I have often thought about doing some HDR images in a cemetery, I just didn't know how well received it would be by the other visitors.

HDR can be very addicting. I like how you are in total control of how extreme you want to take it. Thanks for the feedback.

Ah, good eye! Didn't even notice until your post. Now, I must get back out there and reshoot this one ;)

Thanks guys for all the feedback. The Oakland cemetary is HUGE, so I do plan to get back out and do some more shooting. Hope to post some more....
