Sugar Loaf

Went for a wander up the sugar loaf (S. Wales). Was a nice little test for my new 85mm F/1.8 - which I had some fun with. Here's some shots :

#1 The hill

#2 A couple

#3 Rocks and hills and... Stuff

#4 Doggie at the trig point

#5 A local

#6 Another local, this one was cool

#7 My mate

#8 IR landscape

#9 IR landscape 2

#10 HDR, done with PS

#11 Same shot, photomatix this time though - which do you prefer?

#12 Aand one last HDR lanscape.

C&C appreciated

I have a 360 panorma from the top, too - but not sure how to make the TIFF into a QT viewer..

Cheers chaps

Aye, biiig differences between what Photomatix produces, and what CS2 produces. I prefer the more natural look of CS2, but I'm not so hot on the way it kind of makes the foreground look overcast :\

IR landscapes are great fun on sunny & cloudy days - the skies can be pretty cool, but what's best is that you get lots of contrast on the ground between the light & shadow
