Box photographers...what do you think of HDR? Right now, I'm in the 'it annoys me' phase. I tend to think Photoshop should be used to slightly enhance a photo, not make every photo into Andy Warhol worthy saturated colors.

Awesome pics ALCO. How hot was it in the desert?

Walvis Bay and Swakopmund enjoy a rare desert micro-climate, due to the cold-water current offshore. The temperature rarely ranges outside of 60-75 degrees. It never got warmer than 77 the three days I was there (during their summer).

That's my thoughts on Photoshop - use it subtlety and it's a beautiful tool. Anything else is :rolleyes: to me.

I'd like to give it a try sometime, but do agree that there seems to be a ton of it out there these days (tad overdone, by some).

I don't sleep well on planes but am moderately better curled up in the two seats against the window anyway. Lie-flat coach is about 23" too short for me to lie flat ;)

In 21A right now with an empty middle section.

I was able to check in with my OP #.

It looked slightly angled up, but maybe it's the angle of the picture.

It is slightly angled on one end due to the seat padding, SQ, MH and TG are the same way. On SQ you don't notice it because they put a mini mattress like duvet to sleep on. TG does not, Im not sure what Asiana does, but all 4 seats are very similar.

I've seen some overcooked ones that do look good. Skyline shots tend to be like that.

Pat R:rolleyes:berts:rolleyes:n is blaming the earthquake in Haiti on a "pact to the devil."

Apparently I did run the battery down completely on the netbook. Must have put it into suspend with a low battery condition.

Pat Robertson staying on TV is not too different from Dennis Kucinich winning re-election. It's easier to keep track of the nuts when they can be easily located.
