  5. I think your post titles are my favorite part of your posts! Well that, and the pictures of course! Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I made mention of you in a recent post: http://croppedstories.blogspot.com/2012/06/shout-out.html.

  6. I'm wondering what editing you use to make your shots look this way. You and I have very different photo styles, but I'm digging the HDR. Can you tell me how you achieve those shots?

    1. I use Photomatix to create the HDR, and then finish the editing in Photoshop. I don't know if you've ever used Photomatix, but for one like this I would keep the Micro-smoothing low, increase the Black Point and Micro-contrast quite a bit, and probably lower the saturation.

      If I was just going to use Photoshop, and no HDR, I would edit the RAW kind of the same way. I would lower the saturation, increase the black point, and turn the clarity all the way up. I might try adding some grain to it. You could probably use Unsharp Mask to bring out more of the detail also. It wouldn't have near as much detail as an HDR though.

      I don't usually process HDRs like that, but I wanted to bring out the grunge in this one.
