I understand that you can take the same original RAW and export them with a -2, 0 and +2 exposure change in order to obtain the same result. RAW is extremely flexible with that.

Those are some nice HDR shots. It does look sort of like you tossed another filter or two on the shots or is some/most that done with the burn tool?

that's correct. I use shoot in raw when anythings moving... people, trees swaying, so no ghosting happens. and I've never used the burn tool, I'll have to look into what that is haha

that's awesome to hear about the ultraleggeras. I want some so bad! haha oh and i do mess with the curves a bit, to give it more contrast, or lighten the image sometimes. and I will mess with the color a bit, to get it the way I like

There is actually a place in Compton that does good powdercoat for fairly cheap. The do some clean work. Anyways Just let me know. They look great in silver though for the time being. Is Danny giving you a hook up on price for the pulley install?
