Quick stop off for a photo on my way home from work. Enjoying the last of the warm weather.

Nice colors. They'd look great in HDR!

@babylonboots: haha.. Thanks. I can't possibly post a HDR pic after passing a comment on it myself :P I've several of my shutterbug friends who're not big fans of HDR, so am I.

CDL,where did you go? I have my winters installed and I am planning to do the Hope Princeton Merritt loop for the second time this month. Maybe I should try something else...

I wasn't a big fan either, but my new Canon makes it so easy. Actually, I've been amazed at some of the results which actually are more lifelike than without it.

I do agree that you can go overboard. For most situations, the trick is to do HDR without being able to tell it is HDR.

alpine003

Exactly.

However I think personally I have more of an issue if they are inbetween. Either use HDR to make something really artzy or use it to enhance picture to make it really realistic and more dramatic. But don't get caught in the middle somewhere...

@babylonboots: I completely agree with you.

But look at it this way. DSLRs are sooooo affordable these days, so everyone can lay hands on them.
And when the camera comes with HDR as well, who wouldn't be tempted to try out some stuff
I guess it takes a bit of a practice to produce something that is pleasant to see.

Which route did you take to the catskills, I need to find some fun driving roads. I'm in jersey city as well and dont get to take the car out that often.

@hooger: Is this the yellow wide-body car that has a big spoiler at the back? because.. I remember having had quite a bit of fun along I-78 east a few months ago with such a car, all the way to jersey city I don't remember if I had the 996 at that point or if it was the old '86. Anyways I'll PM you some of the fun roads that I've driven on in the area.

hooger

That was probably me, but its a narrow body with a fixed spoiler and yes, its on the back . I do remember a red 911 on 78 with the powertech logo a few months back heading into JC with me. Did you give a thubms up through the moon-roof?

shyamvenky

@hooger: Indeed that was me!

Some more HDR Fun from today's drive to Hawks Nest
