You won't regret the switch.

PizzaMan - I think the reason I like your photos is, aside from the good photography, you always have a photo from a different view or angle that I haven't seen before. Thanks...I like that!

 

[PizzaMan]

Wow ....thank you for that

I feel I should point out that is a "night" photo!

Well teeeechnically....

Now THIS is a night-time shot (or, more accurately, a very-early-in-the-morning shot):

Nice...Is that HDR? If so, how many exposures?

I can't wait for October to get here so I can see these beautiful shots in person.

Yes that was HDR, three tripod exposures. I've been trawling my way through several years' worth of photos on my hard drive, including about 40 HDR images that I'd never really felt comfortable with processing. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it now though.

Some I've tried to keep fairly natural, others I've gone for a slightly more processed look (hopefully not too far though - "less is more", as they say):

wowzers.....that is nice! I used to really enjoy the HDR look in photos but after awhile I felt they were over processed. I still see photos, and I'm not sure they are HDR, that show over processing between the tree line and the sky. I'm not sure if it's because of HDR or the program processing it. I like the HDR look but I like it to look natural, if that makes any sense.

I could not get my photos to expose the sky and the land to look natural. While the weather was overcast most of the time (during daylight) the sky still seemed always blown out. I was using a new camera ....maybe the tone range was not what it should have been...then again it was probably user error.

I really like your water reflection in both photos and wonder if you did anything special to make it pop.

A long time ago I saw some photos like yours but they were put upside down, making the reflection on top and the original on bottom ....it made for a very interesting look...

One of the 160 or so images that I've recently uploaded to my Alligator Bayou photo gallery (see www.portorleans.org/gallery-POR-AB.php for more):

So just 150 Magnolia Bend photos to process and upload now, and then I'll finally be done with the backlog! (Just in time to take a ton more in August...)
