New 'Photo-Location'

Nice pics - btw, hope you just got your last snow of the year. Friends in Toronto tell me they are so over snow already.

I don't expect any more snow... I've had IT as well... after driving the X5 through the worst of the winter, I got caught in a 'minor' snowfall driving the wife's Ford Contour last week. It was spinning its tires, under-steering, and skidding all over the places where normally just zip through in the X. Suddenly I felt MORTAL!

Here's one more photo from today.


Nice Spring morning here in Ajax (just east of Toronto), on the shore of Lake Ontario in Canada.

Cool pics and composition...
my only opin would be to ease up
on the saturation, either in cam or
the PS.
(I've been on the OffTopic Photo Board too
often; the critics there are bludgeoning. )

PS: envious of your cam!

The saturation is a result of these being HDR photos. I've been experimenting with the process a lot as of late. I'm beginning to find that photos taken in extreme lighting condition result in HDRs that have a very narrow adjustment margin.

While one would normally try to take car photos early in the morning or late in the afternoon, HDRs might better be suited for photos towards the middle of the day.

Aha! Now I see that they are HDR shots...
good stuff and composition, Last.

Again, I had just come off reading the OffTopic Photo board
where 99% of pics get hammered by the peanut gallery there.

HDR practice is on my list, upon my return to the Mtns in
a couple weeks...still envious of your cam.
