That's not a photo, that's a freaking painting! What did you do to make it so beautiful?

(edit: I see where you say you did the HDR, but is that all you did?)



Also, Mattwe - that restaurant table is one of my favorites!

Thanks... Yes, it was almost entirely HDR in the Photomatix editor. After that though I do usually perform minor adjustments in Photoshop such as curve tweaking and whatnot.

In other news, I love taking pictures of moving buses...

This is my first post in a while (panicked when I couldn't find the original thread). My K10d has been away getting repaired for the last 5 weeks (Pentax uk service dept suck) so Calumet gave me a loan of a D200 for the week. Anyway, i was on my way up to take some shots at Ardnamurchan which is the most westerly point of the British mainland, but going through Glencoe I came across a crew filming a tv commercial.

Great pictures here as per the norm, Honourable mentions though go to Freebooter(the ir stuff is awesome),Clix Pix(fantastic wildlife shots),silverbird000, Pdxflint, srf4real, m@ttlew, ibookg4user(the meercat pic)

It looks really nice - good job. The only thing that looks funny is the traffic lights, which show both green and red in each one... I realize it's because the exposures were at different times. It's actually kinda cool this way, though.

Thanks for the honorable mention comment. Great shot of the knight in shining armor...looks like he's emerging from a battle.

Your new genre is quite striking. I prefer it to the macro bugs, but you seem to master whichever style you experiment with. Are you doing this IR stuff with just a filter, or have you had the camera modified?

Skylight

I took this photo while waiting in the Providence train station to meet my girlfriend as she arrived from Boston. It was pitch black out and the skylight on the domed ceiling above looked quite interesting.

Oh, I dig it. Just wish it had been more centered, but hey, what can you do?
 
Another one of mine. Taken when I was backpacking through Strathcona Provincial Park a few weeks ago.

Oh that is superb! This'll probably come out sounding sarcastic, but taking photos of people's feet is really interesting!

Thanks for the honorable mention! I really like the knight shot, it really looks like it was taken in the time of knights!

Thanks! I was gonna fix the traffic lights in photoshop, but I kinda liked the way they looked too!

The bus looks like it is going to come out of my screen, it's so cool! What were your flash settings?
