Amarillo National Bank Building (didn't quite process the way I expected)
I'll probably get out a little more this weekend and do some more shooting around town. There are a couple of antique shop districts downtown that I may do a little exploring in

I'm using Photomatix pro, which takes multiple exposures of a single shot, blends them together so you get a wider range of highlights, colors, etc. It's a technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range).

I think I like that one the best myself...something about the mood of the photo that strikes me just right

Thanks I still use HDR, but I'm getting better at making the picture more realistic as to what you would see without the camera. Some of the stuff here was a few of my early experimentations with HDR learning it and getting a feel for what it can do. Some of what people use HDR for just hurts the eyes...I definitely don't go that route unless it's something that I want to have a psychedelic look to it...
Short of maybe oversaturating colors at times, I'd like to think that the pictures that I use HDR on now, have more of a natural look to them.
