When the smoke and haze got really bad where I live (northridge), I went to the top of my dorm's parking garage and took a few pictures. It probably would've been better as an HDR, but that's not really my bag. Any constructive criticism?

hdr is daunting to me at the moment.....

i think you could retrieve some of the shadows of the landscape with a little post......do you have any editing software?....

Wow - reminds me of Pepperdine (where I went to college).

I wish I had a working scanner - I'd love to scan in the 2 photos I have from the 1999 fire.

Hey I forgot that I could edit the curves when I import a RAW. I re-edited it in photoshop, but to be honest I think the first one has more charm with the dark foreground.

Sun edit

Bleh, I need some suggestions.
