Took these from my car on the way to work today. The first two are HDR attempts. The last one is a single shot.

Beautiful view, nicely composed, I like the pano style.

I wish I had that view driving in to work everyday. Of course it really wouldn't matter since I leave the house at 4am every morning.

Thanks, Mike.

I'm still learning where to set the white point on HDRs.

Haha, well, in the middle of summer, it starts getting light about 3:30am and doesn't get dark until after 9pm. There are so many beautiful views on my way to work that it's a wonder I haven't driven off the road yet. Grin

The first shot is my favourite, it is gorgeous.  Print it big on metallic paper!

I've never ordered anything on metallic paper, but I have seen examples that are just amazing!

I love metalic, try it, you'll like it.  C'mon Marian, everyone is doing it.

Seriously, I have an example an image in metalic I keep to show people.  Charlie just sold a 24x30 metalic print of an LDS temple.  He is such a weird salesman.  So he comes back from meeting with the clients and I ask how it went and he tells me - "the wife wanted the metalic, the husband wasn't sold on it, and he said 'what's so special about metalic?' so I told him it was like when we were young and collecting baseball cards, you wanted the foil ones".
He gave in, the wife got the print in metalic Smiley

I've tried metallic with mixed results. Most of them looked good, one looked awesome, and a couple I just didn't like at all.

Is there a trick to being able to tell if it's going to be good in metallic?

Just for reference I only did B&W prints in my metallic test. The chrome on motorcycles looked really good with it.

I have never tried black and white on metallic before, actually. Although the temple picture I was talking about was monochrome-ish in blues.

I usually don't have good results with skin tones with metallic paper, so I don't usually use it on people pictures. 

I thought Marian's first picture would be spectacular because it would give a lot of shine to an already saturated picture that has almost a lacquered look (if that makes sense).  And blues are gorgeous on metallic.

Fabulous landscapes!  I too wish I had a view like that on the way to work instead of just traffic, construction and more traffic!!  Metallic should work out great for these photos.  I've been pleased with the metallics I've ordered.

Where is everyone ordering the metallics? I don't "belong" to a lab since I print everything myself, so I need a place where there is no minimum order or hoops to jump through before ordering. Smiley

My lab doesn't require minimum orders or anything weird.  I just filled out a form that asked billing address, billing preferences and our tax i.d. number (so they can take off sales tax). 
I actually print through two labs.... so they both probably think I don't do a ton of business, lol, well, I don't do a ton anyway, I wish.

You can order through my lab, you can ftp files over, and they'll ship stuff and apparently do it all the time.  I am considering having them mail my stuff from now on too, it's almost cheaper than gas driving there since they are a county away.
