thanks guys
yarland - the usual - these are hdr images shot with a tianya gnd filter in place.

i use the program photomatix, if you are not certain what hdr is, here's a
wikipedia article on it
you can google for photomatix to download a trial version (which will watermark your photo, but if you want to compare it to photoshop cs2 hdr function, it's worth a try).. and
cambridge in colour as well as
luminous landscape have something pretty detailed on how to do hdr.
some
views of mine, and an brief explanation of my
hdr workflow in both photomatix followed by photoshop cs2, along with other flickr group members' inputs.
please feel free to pm me if you have any more queries, mainly to keep the thread relatively clean for more great pictures! :thumbsup:
