Are they really plastic bags?? It looks more like sheep's wool to me! Where I go on holidays in Ireland the house is surrounded by barbed wire covered in wool, just like this photo - surreal!
PS Wonderful photos everyone!
Got a tip for us?

Ah, the 'wasted' trips aren't really wasted; they're the rent we have to pay for the times when everything does work out...

EW! Now I see that monitor calibration makes an enormous difference. The picture I posted on saturday was completed using my laptop at home. On my laptop the picture looked pretty good...but only on my laptop. When i got back to my computer at the dorms I had uploaded the photo from my laptop to my PC. I realized that the color of the image i posted was unbelievably out of whack. The red was horrendous in my opinion...the mood was simply gone from the photo...and I hadnt a clue "why?" I realized that this monitor had just been color calibrated and the picture looked a lot different on this monitor then on my Laptop monitor. So here it is one more time, the way I had intended it to be (im actually surprised that some people liked the first)...hopefully everyones monitors are calibrated if not, then your probably seeing many of the images on this forum in a different saturation, hue, brightness, contrast, etc then they were originally meant to be seen.
Man, that's really cool!
I hope I haven't posted this one already, I know I shared it with Alex; this grom getting covered up!

@ srf4real & libertyterran: Thanks!
@ Carlos: Yeah, those darn monitor calibrations can be the bane of digital photography. I like that shot though, but I like your second rendition even better. I have issues as well when I edit my photos on my main computer and then look at them later on a different computer.
One thing I've discovered that might help you out with those nighttime HDRs - they always come out too saturated in my estimate, and I've had success with adjusting each source image's white balance to "Auto" in Photoshop Camera RAW before merging the images. This lessens the heavy saturation and gives a more "accurate" look to the HDR composition. But, it's your work so take what I say with a grain of salt on this - but like I said, I've had success doing this.

Great shot! I've really been impressed by how your surf shots have improved since you started posting here.
Thanks a lot for the tip, Eric! Ill be sure to give it a go. Ya, you have no idea how long ive been taking to calibrate this damn computer. The problem with my calibration since I dont have the actual hardware is that i simply calibrated it by hand. I understand what your saying, the problem is that the photo, in my monitor, doenst look saturated beside the first one. So im not sure whether my monitor is fully calibrated properly. If you know any place where I can get a discount off a good calibrator would you mind letting me know, please. I'm starting to loose my head over this. Well, it's about 15 minutes 'till midnight and i got to study for a midterm I have tomorrow at 8:00am....wish me luck
.......on the calibrating, that is.

This is a weird one. The trains give a nice tunnel effect. Much nicer than
the obvious 'moving cars' shot. Inspiring. (mental note: visit railway line soon).
Good sense of motion and solid composition if the subject is the fisherman. It looks a bit flat to me, though. Did your processing take away some of the dynamic range?
My Buggy!
Shot with Canon G9 on 'Wide' mode. No PS Just iPhoto enhance button!
Wow! Great light, great colour, great composition, and a clarity that we get in UK on maybe 5 days each year.
Great buggy too...
My pictures improved dramatically just by putting away the super zoom and getting a dslr system with adequate lenses. Thanks everyone for comments!

Doylem, that is one of the most stunningly beautiful photographs that I have seen. You have the eye of a painter. Constable, Turner, Doylem
