Really awesome images man! Currently only shooting and transferring the images to my com without any processing, looks far from any of the shots here, hope I can produce such images too.. But thumbs up to you!

Thank you very much! Goes to show HDR can be quite pleasing when used with some hard practice. =)

Hi Uncle Draken413,
Beautiful and very amazing shots. Can I ask what aperture do you shoot for this pictures. Is very bright and very well controlled. Especially sunsets..HDR - What do you use for HDR processing? I try Topaz adjust but could not get good results or pictures.

Wahahahahahahaha.... why am I uncle draken413o!? I am not that old laaaaa!!! =(

Depends.. Sometimes I shoot over a range of apertures depending on the type of photo I want. If I want my sunbursts to be very starlike I shoot at apertures f16 to f18 but normally I shoot around f11-14.

When lighting is over the dynamic range of my camera such as those sunrise beach shots I use hdr. I put them together in photomatix and make a rather dull looking hdr. Then I bring it to photoshop cs5 and apply curves and levels and layer masking to correct bright and dark spots. Maybe even ghosting artifacts and stuff like that which I don't know the proper names for.

Thanks! Yes please go back, it's nice now with the red lanterns and flags that they have put up for the lantern festival coming soon.
