    @MrGroove. Thank you. Seattle is great, I loved it when I visited and want to go again.
    @David, thanks man. I’m glad you like them. I just added a small note under each one.

    The ones with pseudo-HDR are single shots, the rest are 3shot hdrs.

    You have got to be kidding me. These are awful! My eyes hurt just by looking at the thumbnails. Please do the world a favor and stop this madness. HDR can be a useful tool for bringing out subtle details that can be hard to accomplish using just one single shot, but these are simply the result of turning every slider to the MAX in some crappy HDR automation program.
    Please do not stop taking pictures, never stop taking pictures!
    Just please, PLEASE, stop whatever you were trying to do here. It doesn’t work.
    I’m sure Seattle looks even better without tone mapping.

    Instead of looking at the thumbnails, look at the big pictures. And have fun, thanks for commenting. And no, these aren’t “turned to the max” nor ran through an automation program, but nice try.

    Kennedy Meadows is the true meaning of HDR, great shot. Low Noise Level (if any). That is hard for me to do. Kudos.

    Thanks John! Yes I like that one as well, I like playing with the high-contrast & saturation settings, but that one seemed to look better a little more “au naturale” I’m going to try more like that. Also, that’s a pseudo-hdr, just made from one single RAW image.
