Wow - how do you do this?

These are amazing pics:

Most of the commentary is in Spanish, so I have no idea what they're saying. How do you do this? Is this HDR ?

Most are HDR or just exposed well with some PSing. Also, most of the comments "are" in Spanish, because with english like that, how come you can't read it? :lol:

looks like HDR with some serious tone mapping, IMHO

The comments are actually in Catalan, not Spanish. Let me know what comment(s) you'd like me to translate for you and I'll give it a try.

There's some amazing shots with "rays" from the sun - just beautiful. I gotta learn more stuff like that.

And if you notice I said "commentary", not "comments". Commentary is singular.

Fair enough. Still not in Spanish though.

Good point.

I wonder if I learned Catalan I could make pics like that...

Dang! Now you beat me to pointing that out!

I agree... well exposed, tone mappped, probably some custom exposure blending after in CS3/4, burned edges on a lot of those shots. Either way, very nice stuff. Wish I could get my HDRs to look like that...

Oh well, try try again in my case.

Ack, it hurts my eyes... I'm not a religious person, but I'm praying this trend ends soon....
