    I’m the same as Lee. sigh. But as you and Irene both use photomatix, I am going to have to give it a go! this a seriously good image btw.

  • Philip Johnson replied

    well its not that expensive , I recentlty listened to a podcast on HDR the reviwer said that Photomatix by itself handled HDR better than Photoshop with the the tone

  • Philip Johnson replied

    The only other suggestion is upgrade your storage as autobracketing raw images certainly chews up the the storage space

    That is a great shot Philip! I really like that you took the shot from further that is usually taken, and that you excluded the Opera House. Give completely different feel, and the sky and the clouds add a lot ! Stunnig1 Took me some time to get to check your portfolio, sorry. It’s great!
