Talking Downtown San Antonio

I've been going crazy this past month without taking any pictures. With school and work I was finding time to actually go out and take pictures rather then focus on school and now that school is out I have all the time to go out but I never do. It's backwards I know but I finally got out this weekend and took a stroll down the Riverwalk over in Downtown San Antonio.

The first weekend of June I will be in Austin for the weekend for a photography expo so I figure I'll probably spend one of the days just walking downtown Austin so I'm looking forward to that

Both of these images are 10 exp HDR images blended in Phjotomatix and tweaked in Photoshop.

Both pictures are wonderful! The first one is so nice to see San Antonio looking so peaceful! The second one is just great! I LOVE the River Walk, and that second picture just takes me right back there

This is my last image I took while out at the Riverwalk. It's a 10 exp HDR merged in Photomatix, adjusted in Photomatix and thrown a few filters in Nik's Color Efex Pro. I'm starting to really love that program but I have to be careful to not over do it as it can very easy to do so.

I think these are very well done HDRs and not overdone, like so many I've seen. In my opinion, these are just about perfect. thanks for sharing, I've enjoyed them.
