Nice.. I like the peacefulness of C.. BTW.. was "A" to racy to be shared so you only shared B,C & D

:FINGER:Hey Guys,
I am heading to Vegas in a month, and will be going to Red Rock Canyon for a tour.
I am renting a Canon 10-22 and a 28-105 IS for the trip...
I am stoked about it!!!!
Hope to have some quality stuff upon return.
Just wanted to gloat a bit, since I have not shot in over a week

I only have Photoshop Elements. No HDR for me.This FAQ is a good starting point. Skim through it and then let me know if you have any questions. It is not as daunting as it may seem at first, once you have shot a few and processed them it will seem a lot easier.That is awesome! Any way to get a High Dynamic Range processing 101?Thanks. One of the nice things about High Dynamic Range is that it makes it considerably easier to get nice saturated colors.Wow. Nice color!I was out driving around late yesterday afternoon looking around for some wildflowers to shoot when I noticed a big bank of clouds threatening to unleash a thunderstorm. Ended up blowing away without so much as a raindrop. Quick and dirty High Dynamic Range processing. Trying to decide if it is worth spending 2+ hours work on it to make it printable.

"A" was already posted above. I am rebuilding my PC and having to work on my older, slower, non-color managed laptap for a few days and I am using a slightly different file naming convention so that when I am looking at the crappy results I will remember why they came out that way.Nice capture.. Like the colors.
I can't articulate why, but I like #1 better.Went Hiking with my daughter Sunday..

Thanks. Those little suckers are hard to shoot, it is as if they are on speedddd, they virtually never stop moving (at least if you are trying to photograph them). I really wanted to get one where the plane of focus ran thru the birds eyes, back and tail but this is the best I did out of 400+ shots.Nice quality..![]()
Sounds like me..Take hundreds of photo's, save 10.Thanks.

Some nice color there. Did you intentionally tilt the horizon?Alabama's tallest building in a colorful light show the first night they turned them on:

I was standing on top of a parking garage with no lights on the top level. I had to guess whether the tripod was level or not since I couldn't see the one's that were built in. I can crop and rotate a little...but I didn't care....just wanted to capture the lightsSome nice color there.

.CANNONBALL!

Nice light, beautiful image.Would have loved to see a shot from a lower angle.
Dude - I have seen your work steadily improve over the past year and it's really cool to see someone really getting into it. Many of your shots have the classic "americana feel" to them. The one thing I see is the majority of shots seem to be taken from eye level. Consider trying some high angles, canted angles, and some low angle stuff.
Looks like a fair amount of wind. Weren't you nervous about getting a face full of spray with your camera out?
