For those that went... post up a photo or two, three, etc...

Here is mine. It's from the side of an old Union Pacific train at the local train museum.

I'm having a devil of a time with Nik HDR Efex Pro, which is suddenly crapping out on me. I shot about 40% IR, 40% HDR and 20 percent regular stuff. It looks like it'll be at least Monday before I can get some tech support on the Nik issue (I've tried everything on their website), so for now I'll be getting through the IR stuff.

Here's my favorite so far - Princeton University Chapel

And one of Nassau Hall, which I may go back and play with some more.

As I'm processing my images I checked on the metadata to see which of the photos is eligible for submission and which aren't since I shot some stuff before the walk, and wouldn't you know it, while my cameras' times were sync'd with each other, it was done back in March, when DST wasn't happening - and the cameras don't adjust themselves for Daylight Savings Time!! So, I have metadata that technically puts half my photos "before the walk".

I'm going to ping the walk leader this morning, but ain't that a PITA?! I know I can shift the time in Lightroom, but do you know if that is traceable in the exif data?

Jake,like them both the Chapel is my Fav by far!! Nice Job!

What is happening/not with NIK HDR?? Is that the only module acting up? Have you tried a re-install? (throwing darts is all)

As always, fantastic shots, Jake! ;)

Personally I struggled a lot yesterday because the +/- settings on the D90 are backwards from the D600 (I use aperture priority mode). I tend to view the scene and dial in over or under exposure ahead of time, and I kept dialing it in the wrong direction. :cower: Plus if I were to have the D600's full frame, I would have been more comfortable--I just haven't gotten used to the crop factor after learning on 35mm. How I wish I had the D600 with its wide angle lens capability to get a better perspective on the building shots.

That first shot looks kind of spooky in IR! :D

Oh wow, know how you feel... When I got my 7100. I set the year wrong by accident... so instead of June 2013, it was June 2012... cost me a shot at a challenge winner as my photo was dated wrong...

I think that a full exif has 2 dates, lightroom only edits the one... on a flickr exif it shows date & Time Original and digitized... Original will show the corrected but digitized retains the original...

Hopefully the walk leader will know it was a shot from the walk... good luck!

Can't you just go into the menu and reverse them?

My three favorite HDRs from yesterday. I submitted the hammock as my official entry - it is a five image bracket processed in Photomatix Pro. The brick archway was also a five image bracket that was purposely heavily processed for dramatic effect in Photomatix Pro. The memorial is a single image processed in HDR Efex Pro.

Eduard, I really like the memorial... Nice job on all 3!
