care to explain? I can see where your coming from about the over the top HDR, but, compositionally, I would like to think a few are rather decent. Correct me if I'm totally mistaken, but they look rather alright to me.
This is a very nice pic. i wanted to ask.. how do you manage to keep the sky black? I have a great difficulty in HDR with the sky. i can not get it to show black in night pictures, and i also get a lot of noise in long exposeres, even at ISO 100. Any advice would be appreciated...
Wow. In that light and with your treatment, the Frost Tower almost looks malevolent, like something from a Batman flick.
I know what you mean... it does get a bit difficult. Most of the time it can be fixed with a simple Curve adjustment in Photoshop. I just tell the program what color range in the picture should be black or manually adjust the black clipping. If that doesn't work, I've sometimes gone in and masked the sky as a selection and worked just on the sky... darkening it, bluring it to remove some noise, etc... However, on this picture it was just a simple curves adjustment (I believe).
Ahhh, so its the curves. I recently did a couple hdrs and the sky ended up horrible, but everything else in the picture was so perfect. Im going to go back and see if i can fix the sky in them now. I had to settle for ropping the sky out, as i didnt really know what to do with it, and it was ruining my photo. lol.
Yeah, that's what I was going for. Sunrise over Austin works perfectly for something like that.
Tell me about it, all my pics i thought were good, just got better! Especially my HDR work. run them threw photomatix then topaz, oh man you can get some amazing results.

Figured I'd post a couple more. These are from my recent trip to Savannah.
Each of these are from three exposures and handheld.

C & C on recent trip photos....
The hotel we stayed in... (I dont like the framing on this one, but it was right on the water and i couldnt get any farther)
This was the view out of our top floor window...
To the right: (This one came out 110% better than expected)
To the left: (wasnt sure how to fix the sky, if anyone could help that would be much appreciated)
btw... all are clickable to the large on Flickr

some really nice pictures there! you have put a little too much effect into them (see the white glow around the edges of things?) - just tone it down a tiny bit.
Here's my effort on a shot I took in New York a few years ago:
This is a very excellent photo. I would only suggest brightening it up a bit. In my opinion, it's a little dark.
Just an idea:
Popcorn Clouds
Took this one a couple days ago right after a storm. Loved the clouds and the sun setting gave them a great color IMO.

rebrook that is an awsome picture! the glow around the tree tells me you put too much effect into it, mayve take it down a notch? excellent!!
