All except for the lightning shots are HDR. Capturing the foreground in those sunset shots would have been impossible had I not used HDR and exposed for the sky. Thanks all!

I want to do HDR, but I need to learn how to do it, and have the correct software for it.
BTW Bachman, outstanding photos!!!!

Chris I took a tip from Ben and downloaded the free photmatix trial.it does not run out but puts faint watermarks on your photos till you buy a license.I took one set of photos and blended them of the house.it was cloudy out but worked well.I have yet to see how this technique and software will work for me in sunny woods dappled with shadows.

Thanks Chris!. I do recommend the trial version of photomatix. Great way to experiment before you commit.
Manis Duck Pond. It is not as spectacular as the previous photos but it it brought out details that would have been lost in a single exposure.
HDR is interesting and has it's place. Photomatrix was easy, Luminance crashed.
Thanks for the introduction, I'll have to play with it.

That one looks like the best, BI, according to this review anyway:

Picturenaut is another free program, Pancoast, and it sounds like it might be easier to use than Luminance.
Intriguing technology.

Thanks, Pan! That sounds like one hell of a paddle! Here's some more detailed information from one of my favorite photographers. http://thegoldensieve.com/materials-and-methods/
The shot of Sandy Hook LH is amazing! The shadowing is eerily beautiful, especially against that sky. Catching Navesink with the north tower's beacon lit is also a nice shot.

True, not so spectacular, but I really like this one.Manis Duck Pond. It is not as spectacular as the previous photos but it it brought out details that would have been lost in a single exposure.

Yeah, that night was a bit too exciting.
I read your link. This technology is rather fascinating to me. I love the effects it produces. There's quite a bit to it, not so simple, lots of creativity involved. I like it. I'd need a better digicam, like a slr, though. I just have a little pocket digicam now.
I got interested in photography at the age of 13 and I had an Ansco Memar 35mm camera then, and I took better pictures with it than I do now.
Haven't posted in quite some time. Did a few trips here and there (Vermont, Ricketts Glen PA). With the help of Bill, a friend and I ventured to Friendship late saturday night. You'll see those in here as well as a composite light painted image of the Wharton barn at Atsion. The composites are very labor intensive and require a separate exposure for each component to be lit with a flashlight. My Friend Evan and I are attempting to turn this into a business, photographing people's prized automobiles. For some neat examples, check out these photos from Eric Curry, the master:http://www.americanprideandpassion.com/photographs.php
Lastly I photographed a private cranberry harvest in the pines.
