Off the hip and out the window.

Off the hip in VCU's art building

The first is the original, then Camera Raw basics in the second shot followed by levels and Lens blur in the third.

Out the window driving around in Downtown Richmond.

Gentle HDR w/ Photomatix and then levels to darken the asphalt.


These are the first two shots I've posted.
Let me know what you guys think

This ain't close to Germany, but I still like the first small series

If you changed the order from left to right of the top series, so that the most saturated image is at the left, then the original, and last the desaturated image, you could merge it into one triptych, as if it were fading from left to right!

The one niggly thing I have to say about your second image, is that the clouds and sky came out rather 'posterized.' Might there be a way to mask some of the effect on them and bring back some highlight detail? I've not yet done any HDR so I've no idea what's possible.

I like the bottom one but wanna crop it.

And the blues look much more washed out in FireFox as compared to Safari.
