Gdansk/Sopot Poland

Visited my girlfriends family last summer and took a couple pictures.

The second one is awesome--I love how kinetic it is!

Very nice shots -- they'd be easier to see if there was a space between each (just a carriage return -- enter key -- or two between would help).

Good shots, especially the ship.

how do you do this!? educate me please! =[

The last four pictures were taken on the same day. It was really overcast as a storm was approaching and I was shooting close to sunset. The Dynamic range of the scenes wasn't that great. These were all done with one exposure. The rest was playing around with layers in photoshop. For example in the last picture I think I duplicated the picture and changed the layer mode to multiply to get the sky darkened a little, change the opacity to where it looked good and then masked out the bottom part of the scene. For the bottom part of the scene I probably did the same sort of thing except instead of multiply I would have used a brightness and contrast layer. Most of the time I just experiment until it looks good. I will say though that these look pretty good straight out of the camera. If I get around to it i'll post the originals.

here are a couple more.

Nice pictures. Good job.

Nice shots... I visited there once back in the early 1960's.

Thanks for sharing.

Excellent pictures I say! I love the amount of detail captured in the 3rd picture with the ships even the high rise crane in the background. Hope to travel to a place as beautiful as that one day.
