Hi Rich.
I myself have played a lot with HDRs and I am now a bit tired of them. I'm not saying I don't make them anymore, because I have found they are extremely handy sometimes.
To be completely sincere, and it's just my taste of course, what I don't like is the sky. HDRs can make skies strikingly beautiful sometimes and some others gray and not so nice (which of course depends on your settings). Lately I do the HDR and compare with the post-processed photo and then decide which one I like more. I do believe my obsession with HDRs has passed.
One thing that I do like a lot is how it pops out the textures in old buildings and trucks like these.

It's really nice work Rich! Get More Details

I love the artwork and I so want to learn how to do that. I used to think I would never switch from film to digital completely, but now I can't imagine shooting anything but digital. I love it.

(***Note - For those "photography purists" who detest digital photography and Photoshop, and especially the HDR Haters, you'll have to get over it. Once upon a time, "real photography" was making your own glass slides, and not using rolls of film. Embrace technology - evolve with it!)

it is so true and well said, EVOLVE. it's new art.

thanks again Rich.. excellent work!

Hey Rich! As with all of your work, I enjoy looking as well as learning. Thanks for your sharing attitude. Speaking of old trucks, I'm sure you're aware of that old 'parking lot' of rusty trucks along the highway just south of Tallahassee. I believe it's down around Crawfordville, just before you turn west toward Sopchoppy. I spent several hours last winter, climbing around, taking shots. I'm an artist and a 'slacker' photographer, and just love nature and finding subjects where nature is in the process of 'reclaiming' it's ground. I've got an album on my myspace page titled JUNKYARD TRUCKS. Please take a look when you get a chance.
Thanks again for the inspiration!
