I was looking at a friends photos on a certain social networking site and decided to play with some older photos as it's been far too cold to go out for landscapes recently, although I'll be out pretty quick if any snow settles. Anyway these two have been fairly heavily processed to get their full dynamic range (HDR photography) you can make it look a little more realistic but I was experimenting today. CS2 & 3 has HDR facilities and also photomatix is a popular bit of software, if you are into this sort of thing. It basically relies on you capturing multiple exposures of a scene to capture all the detail in the sky and also the relative dark land and then the software joins the images and you tweak the results. This is done by setting your exposure compensation to (typically) +2, 0 & -2 for each image. It's handy if you don't have time to fool around with graduated filters and the like. Anyway hope everyone had a good new year.

Absolutely wonderful images, as a ametuer photographer i think you have helped me so much, just by having some indication of the settings of your camera, i now have the confidence to experiment and take some much better images of my own.....
I just wish i could be half as good as you are..
again even the immages you say are poor look great....
