Picture of the day for the Fort.

wdwfigment,

I am curious about your images, if you don't mind sharing. A lot of those look like HDR even when not labeled as such. Curious to how you achieved that....grad ND filters?

I don't much care for graduated ND filters (don't even own one). I use a polarizer for some shots. It's mostly just proper technique (don't shoot into the sun, keep the histogram where it should be, etc.). I also edit based upon some Scott Kelby 7 pt. techniques and also upon what I think looks good. I try to avoid HDR for the most part just because of the stigma attached to bad HDR (and most, in my opinion, is bad).
 
Gotcha. I agree on the HDR. Most of it that I see looks bad. I like HDR when it doesn't scream "HDR!". Your exposures look great. Lots of tricky lighting and high dynamic range in those shots on your flickr. I need to check out those Scott Kelby techniques.
 
My shot for today:

This is so amazing that I would never thought it was an actual photograph....it looks more like an ultra realistic painting....I have it set as my desktop wallpaper.

These pictures really have helped me keep a positive focus on what is going to be something major in my life tomorrow. Thanks everyone for these wonderful memories :D
 
Did I miss the story behind this?

Nope. I am getting close to the point of posting the story on my long-winded trip report now in progess, but I will have to change some names to protect the guilty.
