First time poster...not sure they're up to the caliber of the forum, but I'll give it a shot.

A few from Bodie---an 1800's ghost town on the east side of the Sierras.

I enjoyed these very much, Jack. 1st and 4th are my faves. I like your deft touch with the HDR(?).

They are all captivating. #2 is of interest to me as I like old farm equipment. Did you line up the edge of the wagon with the roof top intentionally? mike

Welcome to FM Jack. Have no fear about the quality of your images - they are excellent. My favourite from this great bunch is #2. I love the composition here. A wonderful reminder of my visit there in September. Thanks!

They are all good, 2nd and 3rd would be my favorite (nice colors). Too bad that the road to Bodie was still closed when I was there in April.

Yes, Barry, they are HDR. Three images (1 EV apart), processed with Photomatix & Photoshop.

Mike - No, just an accident. Never noticed that until you pointed it out. Looks like I lined up the telephone pole, too.

Thanks, David & Ingemar.

Hey Jack,

Welcome to FM!

This is a very nice series of shots from Bodie. Your HDR work is really well done, very subtle looking.

"not sure they're up to the caliber of the forum" not to worry you've just raised the bar a notch. Great set.

HDR is just on the edge of going to far but they look fantastic.

Some interesting ideas. Way to hdr in places though 2,3,4. If that's your style...rock it but can see the haloing/glowing, etc. I would suggest a b/w version of 1. Otherwise your comps are solid and it's a very cool place. well done and welcome

Thanks, I'm still working on getting my HDRs to look less-HDRish. These are the best to date, Perhaps in time...

Here's a black & whiter version of No. 1

Jack, I think these are great. #2 and #4 are my favorites. They have a painterly feel to them. Don't know if that's the result of the HDR or if you added an additional artistic effect. Very nice.

I think these all turned out very nicely. I like the first and the conversion very much and I'm the fourth is very interesting. The lighting in the upper right reminds me light being reflected off of water and up.
