Decided to post some of my work from this year. Most are shot with a Tokina 11-16mm lens, all are shot on a Nikon D7100 and all are multishot HDR captures. It has been a great year, as my body of work has made great leaps the past year. I will post more as time allows. Hope you enjoy.

Nice set Duane

These are really good. Not overcooked and the HDR is natural as there are still shadows where they should be. Really really good.
Please share your setup and settings (bracketing, aperature, F vakues etc)
I shoot mostly sports and weddings but would like to shoot landscape when i get the opportunity.

I use aperture priority mode and bracket 5 shots @ +1 and -1 increments. Aperture between 8-11 the sweet spot for this lens. The sunburst was @f22. All were handheld except the portrait shot. A wide lens is easy to hand hold except in low light such as the cascade image.

I do not shoot in raw due to my post processing methods and minimal computer power. I run them through Machinery HDR software as it does a great job at keeping the images natural and does it for a low price. 39.95 I believe.

I then run the saved merged file through Corel Paintshop Pro software and usually bump the clarity up a little and maybe a bit of vibrancy if I think they are a little dull yet. I would guess each image has 20-30 minutes of PP time. A better computer would help speed this up but I would rather invest that money towards glass and travel.

Anymore questions let me know and I will try and answer best I can. Thanks.

Nicely done. I really like my wide-wide Sigma 10-20 on my D7000.

Great set Duane. I really like the the Big Marsh and the Old Quarry shots the best, but they are all winners.

Beautiful captures. Wow...Just awesome. Thanks for sharing.

I liked the first two. The other images would have been better taken with a longer lens.
I also believe the ones that commented were far too polite and this is nice but not helpful.

I was not looking for or asking for help or critique. Sometimes people just like showing their work they are proud of or happy with. Had I wanted critique it would have been asked for, thanks but I had to clear that up for you the next time you feel the need to be critical. Also because I did not use the equipment or method you would of does not mean it would have been better. Just different and that would be your vision and not mine then...
