    yes you can - people use their point shoots, cell phones, and crazy people like me lug a tripod and shoot long exposures between people walking by and shooting flash - you have to be patient

    Crazy people with tripods... :D
    Haven't seen cool photos like these in quite sometime.
    Nice processing work. Excellent natural look.

    I'm in awe. bowdown.gifbowdown.gifbowdown.gif It is really amazing. I downloaded Topaz Adjust trial version, but I seem to not understand what it can really do since I don't get anything even remotely like this out of it. Did you just learn the controls by trial and error, or is there some tutorial that is lurking out there?

    I play around with the sliders and experiment with different choices - I do a lot of HDR with photomatix so I have a certain look that I try to get on these single shot exposure to look like the HDR type - just play around and find what you like - I also got the bundled package and used some of the other programs too- it is fun- glad you enjoy
