A week in Texas

MooreDriven

I traveled around Texas this week for business and personal reasons. The first two shots are HDR, taken in downtown San Antonio. The third image is not HDR taken close to the Oklahoma boarder. The last shot was taken today after a short snow storm.

I wonder what peoples thoughts would have been if you didn't mention the first two were HDR? I do like the second one a bit, but do believe (HDR or not), that your third image is the strongest. Simple. Strong composition. To the point. Tell a or many great stories. Just a good photo.

Beautiful, and all well composed! Love the cafe shot, in particular.

Love the cafe shot on the river walk. Are you using Photomatix?

Nice series of my adopted hometown! Well done, getting the Alamo with no people in front. I wouldn't have guessed it was HDR either--very nice processing.

I think #3 is jaw-dropping! A simple subject, yet packed with emotion and mood. Great shot!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

wapiti - Yes, I'm using Photomatix. I find it fairly easy to use and the results are very consistent. I don't have Photoshop, just LR2 and Capture NX2. Only minor changes were made after using Photomatix in LR2 for the posted images.

The third shot was one of the last shots taken yesterday. I was just walking by and happen to see it. I would have liked the photo better had the chair been a wooden beach chair, but overall I liked the shot. I used LR2 to soften the background which really added to the look.
