"What kind of post processing are you applying Thomas?"

Pierre, with landscape shots I typically dont do much.
I shoot RAW, so I pull it into photoshop RAW and adjust the sharpening a bit.
Usually use the slider up to 50, and back off the pixels to .5
I will then adjust the mid range contrast up to 25 or 30, make sure that any blown out areas (if any) are addressed. Then, once in working view, I will employ the LEVELS function with a new layer and just hit AUTO. If it looks good I keep it, or if it needs adjusting I can back off the opacity if necessary, or I can also just scrap the new layer and keep the original. My goal is to try and capture the scene as I found it, but we all know that's not always possible.

It's actually a no-name $10 aluminum ring, without correction. Works fine as a manual lens, though the focus distance is TINY, like maxing out at about 8 feet.

Thanks Thomas, I will surely try your recipe, I really like the result.
That shot is fantastic squamish, at first, I thought it was a painting.
@elvis, Looks like the car is praying to have another shot at life.
Nice colors tcole.

Okay, so I had my exposure compensation set up a little high so I processed it a little bit with Aperture to fix it a little. I tried to make the sky a little more blue, but that didn't work so well.

I love the cherry blossoms by my school. Happy Spring guys!

I like the wide angle-ness of it, but perhaps I'm showing too much pavement? If anyone is curious, I have a higher up shot that is better exposed and shows less pavement.

Squamish- I like that shot in the mountains with the sun peering through the clouds.

Poster- Were you in NYC?

Hi everyone. It has been quite a while since I posted but I'm happy to be back and inspired after looking over all of this month's awesome images.
I captured this lightning bolt during one of the many storms that ravaged the southern U.S. this past week.
