Data5amurai uses HDR to enhance, not overwhelm, this dusk photograph of downtown Houston. Too many people abuse HDR technology, but in this case it is used well.

Hillcroft Professional Building.

Telwink says it all, "Nothing screams Hillcroft/Harwin like this 70's cube."

Ask him to tell you about how he risked his life to get a photo of the building's top floor.

Fred Hartman Bridge

The Fred Hartman Bridge is a great structure. I've never been able to get a really good shot of it. But PineMikey did, and even did it in HDR to bring out all the color and detail of the surrounding marshland.

Heritage Plaza surveys its domain, looking over Uptown and the Galleria area.

An inviting scene at Allen's Landing. Makes you want to blow an afternoon with an iced beverage and a thick book.

Red Line Splash

Jfre81 caught his shot of the MetroRail Red Line downtown. With the way the fountains are spraying, it almost looks like the train is splashing through the water.

There's more going on here than just the city lit up and framed by a silhouette of Minute Maid Park. Note the beams of sunlight illuminating items in the interior of the ballpark as well. Great photo from photine.

So, we're gong south then?

On the left side of the platform, you can catch the train southbound.

On the right side of the platform, you can catch the train southbound.

I bet there are people who still screw this up.

PineMikey broke out the HDR for this shot of a corporate pond/flood control feature that's prettier than most.

El Problema

Telwink calls this photo "El Problema."  I'll let you argue over whether it is, or not.

To me, it signifies something sad about a society when the most important feature of a home is not an entrance which welcomes others, but a fortress garage.

If God had an office, the building it's in might have similar lighting.
