I was just blown away by some of these. And then go down to the 1 of 64 and start those as well.

Those are amazing, that's one of the things I love about Instagram, you get to see pictures from all over the world from amazing photographers! I follow one guy that does awesome night photography all around AZ.

This guy below is a friend of mine and he gets some incredible wildlife shots. He's up along the seacoast at sunrise getting the perfect lighting conditions when the birds come out. He'll camp out in zero degree temps for 4-5 hours waiting for a snowy owl to take flight or swoop in for a kill on a vole.

Then he'll go looking for fox dens and get just jaw dropping shots of the kits. He has some on his feed and his personal website where he was sitting on a rock and one of the foxes came up to him within 10 ft

I'm just amazed and in awe from what people will capture with their dedication. You don't just walk out here once and snap these shots. It's going out there 100's of times until you walk away with award winners like those on that link.

Nice photos but they all have that overprocessed maximum HDR look to them, wish they'd leave the original photo a bit more natural.

I love a lot of the photos, especially Top Gun's friend's.

Gotta agree on the over-processing in the first bunch as pointed out by VF9_Longbow. Just not a fan of most of that stuff.

Personal preference I guess.

I noticed a lot of people are doing that, Lightroom is great, but it's allowing photographers to do WAY too much to them. There's a guy I would watch on youtube to learn LR, even he's gone the way of just going crazy to make his shots look fake and got ripped on one of his tutorials...
