Let's face it, the best landscapes generally come from nature which is why I decided to some urban construction-scapes from the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong :D

All three were taken with the Olympus Zuiko 9-18 lens at 9mm (FOV 18mm for 35mm lovers).

    Original and colorful. I like the "unobstructed" view of the 2nd shot best. Nice work! thumb.gif
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    Try HDR
    I like these shots. A lot to look at. I think the first one is best but not by much.
    I took a series of shots of downtown Seattle from the south that look very similar--water on left, city in distance, rich clouds, stuff happening right in foreground. I'm not a huge fan of HDR, but I applied it to my shot and it turned out to be lots of fun. Unfortunately I cannot access the shot right now to share, but I encourage you to try a dose of HDR or tone mapping on these shots.

    HDR might be worth a try...
    One of the things I liked about this set was that the lighting conditions produced photos that were almost HDR like straight out of the camera (these are just OOC JPEGs with slight contrast/saturation/definition/vibrancy boosts plus a touch of H&S adjustment). Now, given the particular camera model (an Olympus E-510), I might get some benefit from over exposing/under exposing 2/3 either way and doing a HDR/tone map in something like Photomatix (without "over doing" it).....
