Some from the Beach!

Some from the beach near my work.. Straight HDR, no other "Effects" except for some leves and cropping.

sun up..

I like them both, but I looked longest at the sunrise.

Thanks Mitch, I wish I lived there and saw that sunrise ever morning.. lol instead of driving past it.

It looks like it's in the tropics.

Love the second one.

The first one is TOO much for my taste. Maybe less saturation? Cool the temperature a little? I don't know but it doesn't fit my fancy. if YOU like it, then who cares though, Right?

thanks for the honesty theague... you are right, its all suggestive!!!

I like 'em both... particularly the second one. The slightly desaturated look works well there.

I like both; very little noise in that lifeguard tower shot. What camera do you shoot with and what noise reduction do you use.

Never mind, I was just looking through your photo blog and found the answers, unless you upgraded recently.

Great photo's on your filcker also, thanks for your tips on the blog. You must be one cool dude to share your techniques; most people like to keep those things to themselves.

thanks guys.

I like the sunup one the best... but there seems to be some lost detail on the stump in the left foreground. I don't know if the exposures you got captured any of that detail, but it seems to me that the point of HDR is to capture as much detail as you can throughout the dynamic range of the shot.

Don't get me wrong: it's a great picture, but I'd just like to see more "woodiness" coming from that stump.

thanks guys... fidelio, i think because the sun was coming from behind the stump, the camera couldnt get much detail from it as it was dark out and i metered for the orange sky..i prolly could have metered the stump but then it would have prolly totally ruined the sky.. or use secont curtain flas on the last shot...Hmmmm

I really like the first, maybe so much that I think you should print it!

thanks Gum6y... i dont print all that often.. id like to try some of these on the metallic paper though..

Craig, most of your stuff would look outstanding on Metallic Paper. I just got some back last week on Metallic paper and man, it took my breath away.
