<p>Thanks to Guus Giesbergen for introducing me to Photomatix. I have used the program several times and find the results terrific. Here are a couple of photos for this week with processing in Photomatix..</p><div></div>

<p>the b&w is wonderful indeed. The coloured version demonstrates imo. the difficulty with natural landscapes ie. the grass begets a surrealistic tint. The pseudo hdr effects work better on streets, buildings, industrials etc. </p>

<p>here's some more from my trip to Antwerp :<br />.<br>

<p>I haven't been posting for a while here. This week I did two completely different shoots. First one was wednesday, the 5th stage of the Tour de France. Conditions were a bit iffy, windy, cold and wet. So a lot of short range shooting, mainly with a K5II and a Tamron 2.8/17-50.</p>

<p>Thanks again to Duane for starting the POW thread. We live 15 minutes from a resort town. Lake George, NY. We hardly ever go there, but it was supposed to rain so we took a drive up for a walk.<br /> #1 Apparently they had nothing to say to each other.</p><div></div>

<p>#2 It did look like rain. ?? Use the coin operated view finders or take the wide view option.<br>

Wide view of the lake.</p><div></div>

<p>#3 The Minnie Ha-Ha. I took a ride on this boat way back in my childhood when driving up to Lake George was an adventure and a thrill. Now, sadly we usually avoid the area except it has a great brew pub that we like. So, the Minnie Ha-Ha flashback to my youth.</p><div></div>

<p>Second shoot was a concert last night in the 'Landbouwbelang' a former agricultural warehouse, very low light conditions.</p>
