I've been browsing back and forth through your gallery for a bit now.. and I'm wondering, I mean.. I know the fisheye.. but how come your things look almost drawn in a lot of the photos.. Wouldn't that be photomanipulation? Not that it's wrong or anything I love your stuff.. just I don't see how you would get some of these moods with just lighting and lens adjustment. Do you see what I mean?

First, thanks for the support!
And I do see what you mean. A lot of my more recent stuff is an HDR / fisheye combo. The surreal colors from the HDR process.
But instead of just leaving it there, I continue to selectively saturate and desaturate individual color channels a little at a time.
I usually spend between 2 and 4 hours per photo. Sometimes working tiny little spots of color at a time. So the short answer is no, I don't think
it's photomanipulation. Because I am working with an actual photo and just slowly adjusting and tweakin the color channels and contrast.

Okay, I see. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Wow, 2-4 hours? Well, it shows a lot.
I have this friend who wants to be a photographer really bad but he thinks that a true photographer doesn't do ANYTHING to help their photos other then light adjustment and a few basic things of the like. So it's only true if you click the button on the camera then post it. I think I'm going to send him to your gallery. He might learn a thing or two.

If you want to pull one on him...tell him a "true photographer" doesn't even push a button
Tell him to look up pinhole cameras. That's photography in it's truest form.

Basic editing is Adobe Lightroom and CS2.
For my HDR's I use Photomatix Pro.

yes i know but what i want to know, it's maybe a secret but you take 3 bracketing shot, like -2 0 +2 Or something different ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You've got...3 bracket.
Not always +/-2. If it's dark like this maybe one normal exposure then +1 and +3.
I always have to bump levels and contrast in PS too.
