 narf, scott
I definitely like this treatment much better. Still a little oversaturated for my liking, but much better on the sharpening end

and I'll go ahead and post one for tomorrow while I'm at it:
This photo is an accident, camera was set to ISO 800 until I realized later on, but those clouds were killin' it anyway.
A little higher up and you could've seen the track a little better. The "Carousel" at Summit Point:
fvck, I see a couple dust spots...oh well, this was impromptu.

I like the pan of the Porsche, but this is  even though you can barely see the cars. What lens?

Thanks, it even blew me away when I looked through the viewfinder. Polarizers ftw...Porsche was with 70-200mm 2.8L IS and the big sky shot was a 17-40mm 4L.

 I'm almost done with my Lone Elk Park project (actually I finished shooting there yesterday and have most of my 80 page Blurb book on it laid out already), so there won't be too many more of these animal shots. cheers, scott
yeah, but those droplets of water are where it's at. What time of day was this taken?

About 7am, shortly after the park opened and before the sun was fully in the valley.

In keeping with the bird theme...
(one of those rare times where I really wish I had better equipment, or more specifically, an A700 + 300/2.8)

BMP_GLI -
can you go over your PP steps on that AC-130 shot? It looks like it has a glow to it!

Hmm, if I can remember correctly:
- Messed with the Shadows/Highlights, brought down the shadows a bit and bumped the highlights just a little.
- Used Selective Color to get some more color out of the reds, blues, and greens. The CP kind of made them dull looking.
- Bumped up the Exposure a tad since it was a little dark.
- Filter > Sharpen
- Bumped up the Vibrance to like +3 and Saturation to +3 or 4.
That's pretty much it. Like I mentioned, this was shot from the ATC tower which was really dark inside. They were cool enough to open one of the blinds for me to shoot out of. I was really bummed about how a few of my other shots came out because of my lack of skill using a CP. I haven't really messed with them PP wise yet though.
I tried using the Sunny 16 Rule, but I was doing something wrong since all my shots were too dark, even with it being a bright day out with almost zero clouds. I dunno, I'm still such a n00b at this shit, I need to shoot more and read more on technique.

Just a random shot from my phone in Hong Kong airport.
I really need to process some of the shots I took...

I know that camera will now meter through the CP filters but I do feel like the CP filter can play tricks on the camera. I use a Hoya 77mm CP and sometimes things just look off.
for example
I should have been able to shot much faster that 1/6th at F/11 with a 400 iso. There were very few clouds in the sky.
Too bad my train picture were all before the start of the current contest.

I had my CP filter in place so that I could make a pretty sky and get some nice saturated colors in the bright sun.

I was in Manual mode. I should've used P or A, now that I think of it.
What possessed you to shoot in Manual? There are a handful of situations where manual is appropriate, but 99% of the time you should be in A or S.
Good question. I don't know, just figured I try it out...so much for that! Why not use P mode?

Yeah, but a CPL shouldn't cut enough light to get you down to those settings. You'll lose a stop or two, but 1/6th of a second in afternoon daylight? Ridiculous!

I think that the only pictures that I have from that day without the CPL are from inside the train with a flash.
The train was dark and was in the shade from the station.
