September 17thReally astonishing inspirations. i think hdr and lomo on this pictures, gives a more intensity to th details and brings up the atmosphere of each ambient. I enjoy those effects when they empower a picture like this ones.

March 11thAstonishing photos. Would prefer to see less use of HDR, though. Distracts from sufficient natural beauty.

September 2ndthis inspires me to go out and take some photos. i feel its a shame that old photography. is dead its all digital now its they say you can get the same effects with a digital but really you cant. nothing can replace the dark room. and the effects of developer and washes . but i guess i have to upgrade.
