Friday's sunset less the obnoxious power lines

We've had some unusual clouds here in San Diego as the storm moved out of the area. Both Thursday and Friday gave very interesting sunsets. The first shot is from Thursday and the second is Friday's sunset. 14-24mm; f-9; ISO-100; Panorama comprised of two 7 image HDR composites.

Watching the La Jolla sunset 14-24mm; f-9; 5 exposure HDR

I realized something while looking at these images all together in one place - it's not a good idea to mix up different rendering styles in the same series. So I re-jigged them all to a single rendering style. To me, having them all the same gives the series much more continuity and it doesn't...

And a belated salute to Veterans day (repost of Ft. Rosecrans memorial cemetery)

The Star of India

Just curious if anyone else here has been bitten by the CW bug. It's a shame I live on the west coast about as far away from any CW sites as you can be. I can imagine I'd have a field day with my camera working all the battle sites.

I just downloaded Topaz for a free 30 day trial, primarily because their B&W software is on sale this month for only $29, so I figured I'd give the whole suite a try. On that note, does anyone else here use Topaz and if so, how do you like it? How do you think it compares to Nik software? And...

Here's a cool look at the state of the art colorization of old historic photos. The take home message is that both Audrey Hepburn and young Liz Taylor were both incredibly beautiful, both in color and in B&W.....at least that's what I got out of this article! :cool: ​Realistically colorized...

Here's a fascinating story of the most densely populated area in the world (or at least it was when it existed). The article is a good read and provides background for the story and the photog's website has more images. However, after 5 yrs of photos these are the few he's showing the world. I...
