Went up to Lake Arrowhead today and took some pics...









I didn't realize that the road would have been so "twisty", otherwise I would have brought the M3 But, it was a fun drive nonetheless.

Great pictures, Phil. I like the second to last one best, but wish it wasn't angled like that. See if you can't rotate it straight and crop.

I like the second one to the end also

What software are you using for HDR. I swear, everytime I try and make an hdr pic, it looks like ***. haha. Im gonna have to fiddle around w/ that more.

Suggestion: ya should use a custom white balance for the night shots on the roof!

Dude...You're retarded! If you had just let me know that you wanted to do a night shoot, I would've gotten you models for your photoshoot! You know the hook-up I have there!

I use Photomatix, I really don't know how to use it much, but I've been fiddling with the controls...

I will definitely give the custom white balance a shot. Thanks for the tip!

Ah, I use photomatix too... Just gotta play w/ the settings more I suppose, but your HDR pix look pretty dang good if ya ask me.

As for custom white balance, I have played w/ the XSi and its plenty easy to do.

Take a pick of something that is white in your current lighting - making sure the whole image is white according to your lighting.

Hit the menu button + find the custom white balance and select the pic of your white image.

Select custom white balance + shoot away!
