Here is some assorted hurricane damage... fall 2005. I think it was Jeanne, or Francis, or Charley, or Ivan... not sure.
What is left of the Vero Beach pier
A nice ocean front restaurant/surf shop in Melbourne Beach
storm surge damage

The Autocar is not HDR, the method is described above.
These 2 are examples of this same curve manipulation method, an abandoned mental hospital and a decaying bridge with tarps blowing in the wind:
This shot is an example of HDR used to achieve a similar effect:

Finally, a topic that I actually already have some stuff online
"Russian Destroyer 356" wreck. Sunk in 1996 off of Cayman Brac.

Nice photo. How deep is it ? (looks kind of shallow)
I was looking at your page and came across your "spare air contingency bailout planner"... are the numbers the amount of air consumed in one minute with different levels of stress (50 to 300)% ?
I apologice for the completely off-topic question but do you use a spare air ?
I'm looking for a bailout system and am considering a spare air or the H2Odissey. Any thoughts ?
thank you and sorry for the hijack
One of the most impressive photoshop enhancements I have seen! Kudos!!Thanks very much for the comments. I originally thought the shot was a wash because the sky was a very very bright white overcast that day. Luckily I liked the framing of a few shots such as this one and I tooled around with the curves a bit. A lot actually, essentially the effect is like the 'solarize' filter, except I pull the curve all the way up to the top (instead of 50%) and then fool around with its exact placement. So essentially I switched the white in the sky to be black, and the gray in the shot to be white. So the photoshop was:
convert to b&w, crazy curves, then levels to even things out and the usual sharpening.
To give you a better sense of what I saw when shooting, here's the same shot in a color version (which I disfavor). PS on this shot was: up the saturation to get something besides white out of the sky, levels, sharpen.
I've only had a handful of shots in which this idea works, but here's another example of a very very stormy sky working well with the technique (usually you'd just try to up the contrast, but that made things very grainy and required masking out the boat, water etc., while this technique made the sky more dramatic still while also adding to the water and boat).
Even better, if you could actually walk us through (mini tutorial) if you get a chance
I am still not getting the scale of how much you had to do to bring out this dramatic effect in this car and the ship - would love to understand the process.Tongue in Cheek
Given their scandal rate and performace as of late, I think this qualifies:
Would have include a certain house as well, but don't have any photos of it.
