Using curves+masking in photoshop really helps for processing, I've found.
Not sure If you seen Chromasia's photoblog - but the guy does amazing work and he has tutorials that are worth their it. They helped me learn a lot with lots of little things in processing.
Thanks. This shot actually became very problematic. I was stopped down to f/22 (screw diffraction, I needed the depth of field) and focused at or near minimum focusing distance, and the sun was highlighting dust on the filter, making it very visible in other photos. The combination of f/22, minimum focusing distance, and dust being highlighted meant that a ton of dust showed up in almost all of my photos, save for this one. Glad I took so many!
Can you do no wrong in photography??!!! Yet another great shot from you! Such attitude. Love it.
Still experimenting with HDR...
@Maxx: Thanks, that means a lot coming from someone whose work i hold in high regards. I am going to be a photographer, i dont care what it takes. So far i have been reading, shooting, reading, processing, and did i mention reading. Hopefully things go as planned an in the fall i will start at the university and speed up my progressions...
Anywho, i am/was bored today just playing with my camera, and Photomatix. I really like how bright this turned out, seeing as how i shot it on my bathroom counter.

Mine for the day:
Just a self portrait.
I like it. I think I might have tried putting some flashes outside the window to give it an interesting look but thats just me.
Wow, great shot! I know I'm not the only who's hungry just by looking at it.Food photography (Kraft Dinner)

Nice shot. It was also a nice bike he had. I was there at Chinnor Bike Dayz and when you took the shot was about 10 feet to the right of you. I saw you take the shot but didn't know it was someone whose work I have seen on here before. In fact you can even see my bike in the shot. Mine is the blue one you can just see the front of on the far right of the pic level with his waist.
Wish I had known it was you, I'd have said hello.
It is a great pic though.
Edit: Have also just seen your website and see you are located in the same town as me. What a small world.
That indeed might have looked neat.
Nonetheless, I like not using flashes, to help preserve realistic colors.
