I dream of the far east

But in reality, these were taken in Reading Pennsylvania

The first is right out of the camera ... but I did use two filters to gt the shot, an ND grad and a gold filter. On the second I used the ND grad and a varicolor blue/yellow and then made 5 jpg from the single RAW spanning -2 to +2 and made an HDR in Photomatix.

Hope you like them.

They're fantastic. The first is my favorite.

I agree. The colors in the first one are just amazing.

I just couldn't resist a bit of manipulation on this one.




Using GIMP I changed the canvas size to make room for the flood at the bottom, then did some copying and cloning to extend the wall a bit, then I used the flood plugin. I guess I got carried away
