Yet Another Photoblog

Gloomy gloomy London. The processing may have made this seem a little bit more overcast than it actually was. I had a 40 minute wait at London Bridge train station a while back, so I took the opportunity to pop out and grab this shot (and a couple of others I may upload at some point). A three exposure HDR processed with Photomatix and Lightroom.
Some time back I uploaded my first dedicated night shot, tripod and all, taken on Jubilee Campus, University of Nottingham (www.flickr.com/photos/pixog/6103857545/in/photostream). Here's my next favourite from that evening, finally processed to my liking. This was three long exposures taken in RAW, merged using Photomatix and touched up with Lightroom. One thing I've noticed is the amount of time it takes the 500D to write to disk long exposures in RAW, but at least I had the tripod and I could just walk around shuffling my feet as I waited.
The sun slowly setting over Downtown Jersey City. Processing may be a little bit too much on this one, hence the halos on the buildings. Three exposure HDR image processed with Photomatix and adjusted in Lightroom.
On our convoluted drive from Karlsruhe to London (as part of a larger trip) we stopped off in the small village of Pressigny, France. The B&B we stayed at (Maison Massin-Perrette) was traditional and quaint with wonderful hosts. This is the view of the lake next to where we stayed. A three exposure HDR image, processed with Photomatix and touched up in Lightroom.
I've decided to join the masses and create a "Photoblog", the only name left that was vaguely similar to this was "Pixog". I enjoy taking pictures, but only ever view my efforts as amateurish, so I've decided to share some of my favourites with the world and see what you think!
Currently I'm using a Canon EOS 500D and a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10. In the past I've used a Samsung Digimax A6 (my first ever camera) and a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3. Software used for editing includes Photomatix Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, GIMP and Hugin.
