Thanks Gen, I appreciate the comments.

There is minimal post processing and NO trickery no filters, no blurring or warping or any special tools, they are RAW's converted to jpgs with Lightroom only. I think the exif is still intact if you have a reader you will know for sure what my settings were.

I do know that I only use Lightroom and only do minor adjustments. All the shots posted here and on my website were shot hand held with either a nikon d300, 17-35 2.8 at f16 or 18, or a 70-200 2.8 vr at f11-f18, iso 200 or 400 and from about 1/20th to 2 seconds, hand held, most of the closeups were were long exposures. Again, check the exif if you have a reader. . .

I did brace against a rock for the landscape shot. I wish I had had my tripod I could have gotten some stunning shots, but as it was I left it at home - booohoooo. . .

Again, thanks for asking.

Tony
