Comment on Property investment in Italy by Radu Bogdan

I believe the financial crisis has hit property sales all around the world. Still, at this moment, an investment on property market is better and safer than any other time.
The prices are going down so if you have some spare money put aside it could be the right moment to invest them.

Great to see the health of the skiers being taken care of so well. I’ve been in an accident skiing in Slovakia, took 4 hours to get to the hospital while having an opened fracture…

Hi Sandy

Thanks for the kind comments. I took 5 images on a tripod. Exposure settings, 0,-1,-2,+1,+2. I used a program called Photomatix to generate the HDR image, I prefer it to photoshop, but the latter is still great for this application.

Cheers

Clive

Clive,
That is a stunning HDR photo. It almost looks like an AutoCAD render.
I have just got into the realms of HDR from bracketed images – what did you use to create that? +/- 2EV for 3 or 5 images?
Most of mine turn out like mush for now – got a couple of good results, still learning; I hear that it’s best to have a vista of high and lowlights – how did you manage that in a church???
I’m stuck with Linux for the next four weeks, so no chance to play with Photoshop in Windows.
Anyway, beautiful result.
Cheers,
Sandy

Thanks for the great pictures. Although we missed the snow on Christmas day (we must be 30 miles East of you) we got it on the 26th instead. I see we have a lot of snow forecast for this week too. Happy New Year.

Comment on The Tour de France 2008 – stage 16 Cuneo by English Coast

I went to a stage of the Tour when it came through Kent, UK last year and although the cycling entertainment only lasted about 30 seconds as they all streamed past, the entertainment value of the procession, and the real sense of atmosphere made it a great day. Great pictures by the way!
