Ken, I have had some difficulty with your choice of contrast and saturation, Your photos are well composed but over time you have increased the punchlines of the rendition. I tend to go in the same direction with vivid processing but not quite as far as you do.
This is a matter of personal taste, so it is not for me to say but for you to do.
However for this Corvette headlight, your processing resulted in a Fantastically beautiful photo, best headlight lighting and rendition ever!
Raphael,
Good eye my friend. I tend to go a bit wild in PP, “ESPECIALLY” with the HDR and contrast settings. Yes I do push the limits. That was the third attempt I think on the headlights and the reason I post them on this site is because I can post them knowing I’m standing with a good friendly crowd. Glad you liked them.
In a few days I will post some sun bursts taken over several different times at a couple of different locations. Cant wait to hear the comments !!
Thanks for the compliments, Continue to play with the 8mm. I live where I do because one gets a lot of space for no extra cash, downside normally is 20 miles to work and 15 miles to the beach but this is the I 15 corridor in San Diego, not LA.
My backyard is large and bordering a magical area, Here I try to capture that. Poor plants are struggling, if the new norm is this heat and no rain, I will be moving somewhere else.
I could use a 100mpixel camera for many of my lenses including this one. IF you look you will see where I hide to read and avoid honeydos.
Took this just about a year ago with the 28 f4 PC Nikkor on the Df. Not quite so much nose to nose as Laura's 85 1.4 shot at the Wright-Patterson museum
My favorite shot that I have ever seen of an SR71, taken on Nikon gear, was by my old neighbor. Panning shot with the F5 and 200/4... 100 feet off the deck at Mach 1, full afterburner. You could just make out that it was the SR71, and the flames cut across the rest of the frame. Flames were nearly double the length of the jet. Was something else. Never did get a copy of that one.
Sad to see John. Hope the fires will end very soon. We've had really, really dry and extremely hot weather in Sweden this summer. So Many wildfires, so much forest is gone..

It's supposed to be even worse tomorrow . . . ugh.
Western wildfires are seem in abundance this year. Looking at the web I can't imagine the devastation for the residents and the tourism the areas supports.
Hers's a post with the lead photo taken from the net that shows the fire tearing thru Glacier National Park in Montana. The other two are shots I have taken in May when we were there. It seems as we had the same vantage point. I truly find no words for this devastation.

I agree. Ken, sometimes your PP makes my retinas bleed, but that headlight shot is fantastic, as are the shots right above this post. Well done.
