Another from our trip to Disney World. The Castle at night.

That looks alot like the picture on TV. I realize it is..but the time of day looks about the same.    Nicely done. 

Stunning!

Is this just the way it was out of the camera?  It's really an amazing photo!

No, Pat, that was the fun part. I shot this, then later I met up with my husband and he asked if I'd gotten the castle at night. I showed him this one. It was really dark and not very good, just the lights, and even those were dull. He shrugged and said, "It's okay. It's hard to get pictures like that in the dark." I thought, "Just wait. I'll bet I can make it better." Sure enough, in editing I adjusted the lighting and it pulled out the colors and textures.

WOW well done!

That's great!  I'm so happy it worked for you.  I try things like that too with my Paint Shop Pro! 

Wow, you did a great job opening up the lights and colors!   

Well done! My family and I went last year. Some of my favorite shots are of the castle at night. This turned out great, very rewarding shot!!

I agree Tim.  I've never been there.  I've only been to Pensacola to the Pensacola Christian School and I was only there for two days!!!  Someday I hope to get to the main part of Florida.

Pat it is beautiful.  We should go together!

...and expensive too! 

That's an amazing shot.   A little tonemapping can help bring out those wonderful colors you caught.



Hope you don't mind me fiddling with it.

Don't mind at all. That's amazing. Tonemapping is one of those things I really don't get yet.

Boy, that really sharpened it up! 

Barbarian you are genius at that!

Barbarian, your tonemapping skills are very inspiring. In fact, I have been inspired to develop a few tonemapping work flows.  I'm revisiting my whole collection of shots. I must say, HDR could become a hobby in itself, completely apart from the photography.
