[QUOTE="STM, post: 366989, member: 12827"] Just playing around with PhotoMatix HDR. This chimney may not look like much but it actually as quite a history. I had to climb onto the roof of my Jeep, camera and tripod in hand, to take this image(s) and even then I still had to correct for perspective distortion. Taken with the 18mm f/3.5 AIS Nikkor.
