Not entirely sure how fast I will get these photos posted. Several hundred to go through and I am in the middle of a few other things right now. Here is a starter for the thread, I hope you enjoy it!

This is a photo of the Chicago skyline consisting of 4 exposures taken 'manually'. They range from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. The photos were made into an HDR then layered appropriately.

if you ever come through tulsa, i need a quick lesson from you....this shot is amazing!

Very nice shot!

Thanks guys!

Knight -

Definitely! Feel free to drop me a PM if you ever have a question, I'll do my best to answer it.

Very nicely done. I tried one of San Diego years ago, but it didn't turn out nearly as well:

Looks pretty crisp to me Ken. If you want, try making 2 pseudo-exposures of that. Make a -2 and a +2...then layer them with the darkest on the bottom. Play with the transparency and see what happens.

Thanks Counterman, I will definitely try that on my next attempt. That one was done years ago on my first dSLR - the original Rebel, and I haven't tried again.

What stood out to me when I was taking the shot is that almost none of the buildings had their lights on, so it's a very dark scene.

Interesting...I just noticed that looking at it again.

One thing your photo has that I love: The clouds.

Beautiful shot Counterman.

That is a great shot, it would look cool as one of those prints with the lights that shine through the back.
