Great images... strong use of "graphic" composition!
I especially love the more under exposed somber looking image with the railing.
See what would happen to the other image of you were to make it a light darker/more saturated.

Beautiful images, Regsy! Post more!

My previous effort didn't work very well, so I will try again. Hope you like these images.

Same image as above but with a different take on the finish.

A HDR rose image that I colour popped in the traditional fashion, but although it was OK I tried a different look, this was the result and I have to say I love the effect.

Whitehaven in Cumbria, just before it started to rain, used HDR to bring out the sky and the reflections.

As always comments are welcome.

Ty for sharing.  I started with a different book but I swear I'm buying this one right now!  TY!

[The Regsy]

Catrina, the book is good and very informative so I do advide you to buy it, but I have learned a huge amount from trying it, just taking 3 bracketed shots here and there and seeing what fiddling with Photomatix and other HDR software can do.  I have had some terrible results and some great ones.  I am in no way a professional photographer and I don't have the latest most expensive kit so anyone can do this.  I hope you have fun and I look forward to seeing some of your stuff on here soon

Managed to get this from a recent trip in the Lakes.

I've not got into HDR as of yet. Too many snappers over saturate. Both of these are in the ball park for me.

Cheers mate, its so easy to go overboard (I have many times) sometimes its just hard to keep a perspective on what you have done to the images.  It is sometimes worthwhile keeping the 'normal' shot out of the bracketed images open somewhere in the background so you can see what it looked like.  Its a good job I usually photograph gigs and festivals where it isn't easy to get bracketed shots otherwise I would have thousands! LOL.

Glad you like my attempts though
