Unbelievable! Well done capturing all the details in darker areas without over exposing all the highlights. I was sure you were using filter to allow the dark textures into your picture while at the same time keeping that beautiful sky exposure. Lightroom helps but it takes a quality picture to start with!
I'm sure I'm not the only one who hopes you do! Thanks, we are all really looking forward to it. I'm considering taking either a Nikkor 14-24 f2.8 or the Tokina 11-16 f2.8 but looking at your shots, I think the 14-24 should be plenty wide enough.
@Havoc315 - Great shots! Question about the last one you posted. When we go on our Cruise we are staying in the back 4 staterooms around 10662-10668. I appears the fireworks are off the side of the ship, but I read somewhere that these rooms are perfect for private viewing of the fireworks. Any thoughts if we would be able to see them clearly from the very aft of the ship? Thanks!
