So after I finally got off of being "on call" (see my laptop bag thread in this forum), I went down to Town Lake to see what kind of trouble I could get into. I shot this railroad tressle (built in 1906 - the plaque was just off camera) from directly below. I made 3 exposures, hdr'd it when I got home, converted to b&w, deepened the shadows and brought up the midtones and highlights (hdr seems to have a tendancy to flatten the images initially I've noticed). Anyway, let me know what you think. Again, Nikon D80 w/nikkor 18-55mm.
