    Here are a couple of shots I took Thanksgiving morning...the light is broken up smoke from a fire being used to burn leaves... What do you think?



    I really like the first one... Nice...

    Awesome light ! Great job on these ! I see some noise in the photos
    is your ISO on auto ? Also don't rule out B/W as there is alot of tonal
    variations in these photos, just add a little contrast boost to the B/W
    and they will work well.

    Take care,

    The first one is really cool. Nice exposure and contrast!

    On another note I love the rays of light. I'll go with Dwayne and say these could make some very cool b&w as well.

    Cheers

    Now I think about it Dave it is funny lol. But I like to help and give tips
    were I can. Even know my approach to photography is straight up
    shooting, I like to keep updated on all digital technics. So when someone
    mentions tone mapping or masks to me I am not standing there scratching
    my head.

    nice job. I like the first one and the last one. the second one has a bit too much contrast for me.

    Keep shooting!

    There you go, The first and the last look great B/W. The second one
    is a tad to dark which makes you loose some of the mid tones and
    details in the shadows.
