I also just realized my last shot is backlit as hell. I don't care, I still like it. :))

There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

That yellow HST's the measurement train, isn't it?

I like the Pendolino shot, with the signal reflection on it.
My friend and I applied for airline jobs in Australia, but they didn't Qantas.

Yup, known as the Flying Banana!

I was initially using my wide-angle lens; however the photos above were taken with the 75-300mm lens, which offered much better results - such as the Pendolino!

All I did was add a bit of saturation. That's all. I swear. Scenes like this are how the Sandia Mountains got thier name. "Sandia" means "watermelon" in Spanish.

4 exposure HDR, tonemapped in Photomatix. In Photoshop I sort of used the Contrast Masking technique Nosedive supplied, except instead of using it to pop out the tones, I used it to smoothe them out a little bit. First, I duplicated the background layer and set the blend mode to Overlay, then, I applied some USM to the background layer. Then, I went back to work the duplicated layer, and at this point, I felt that the image was too green and needed some cooler colors, so, I went to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and with the "Master" selected, I shifted the HUE slider into the Blue range, then shifted the Saturation slider to something very low (but not completely desaturated). Then, I went to Image > Adjustments > Channel Mixer and with the Blue channel I set the Green slider to 20%. After all this, I did a gaussian blur on the duplicate layer and set the slider to a bit above 20%, then set the opacity of that layer to about 75%. I feel like it produced a solid, but not "juiced" HDR.

This shot cracked me up. Taken by my brother, this is my 5 year old nephew, Parker, checking out some cheerleaders practicing instead of watching his older brother practice football:

I'm not a fan of HDR at all, especially when it's cranked right up. This, though, I like. It has a dream-like quality to it. I think the movement of the leaves in the foreground really adds to that.
