Before & After photos

I'll just post these as a guide to the work I do. The funny thing is, most of the work is done in PS and Camera Raw. Fun.

Just a matter of taste, but I like the originals better than the tonemapped ones. Yes, I'm a purist.

You are definitely inspired by Ben Wilmore. These are great!

I love these images, especially the second one! Care to share your technique for these?

Lol, admitting you have a problem is the first step toward recovery.

That's why I wanted to develop a forum where purists are just as welcome as creationists and vice versa. Different opinions are what make the world go 'round.

And thanks, HDRJunkie & Ivich, for your kind comments. I will definitely share my process with you! When I do it, I'll post it on the techniques page.

I'm attaching one more before & after. I failed to mention in my earlier post that these were all created from three RAW exposures, +/- 2. The before is the normally exposed one.

Here is one I did with a single Jpeg to show what you could do with it if you can't shoot RAW

Very neat look!

SpiffyPix, love that second car, plus the mono sky fits very well...
