Impressive photographs. I’ve only been involved in photography for a short time and have a 50D canon and 24-10mm lens. What do you use?
Thanks Chris for the nice comments. I shot with a Nikon D80 w 12-24mm,16-85mm and 70-200mm f2.8 lenses.and a B+W Circular Polarizer Filter on all my lenses. The software i use Lightroom 2.6, Photoshop Elements 8, Photomatix 3 for processing HDR, Topaz Labs plugin suite. The Canon D50 is also a fine camera. Good luck
