will probably add these to my gallery at some point soon, but was just messing around yesterday with the camera and thought i'd post these.

 

Nice stuff--the sun rays are very cool.

 

Thanks. I got chased off by mall security cause I was on top of the parking deck with a tri-pod and camera. "You cant have cameras here without mall permission"....... to which I replied "how about the thousands here with camera phones, like the one you have on your side". Anyway, I was asked to leave then

 

Silly Scott

Great photos by the way. I'm partial to the sky/sun and the dog ones

 

You should have shown him your Admin Badge ! maybe he'd go away lol

 

I like the sky scapes! Clone out that light pole though!

 

I need to

 

really nice work scott.
Do anything with the HDR yet?

But it could be said that it add's perspective to it ? to show how insugnificant we really are !

 

art is subjective

 

amen. I havent cloned it out yet, mainly due to the full size was here at home. I also just thought about cropping the pic right at the top of the light so its not there, but I thought it would take away from the cloud's size. So many ways to do the same thing.

Doug, no I havent played with the HDR stuff yet. I tried one time right before dusk, but in the shots for different exposure levels, the clouds I was shooting were moving to fast, so the time lapse when the pictures were combined introduced a good deal of motion blur, even though the individual shots were tack sharp. Daniel, have you messed with HDR photo's yet?

 

Scott, I kind of like the pole in there, provides a contrast between the wonders of nature and the stark creations of man.
Nature's light show vs. man's artificial lighting attempts.
Also, it's kind of a focal point.

Could be that I'm reading too much into it too.
