4. You must be thrilled with this months photo group contest then...

I think I'm opting out as I'm generally not a fan either

6. Yeah, I already said I wouldn't be participating.

Not my thing, plus I'm still sorting out the 2300 or so photos I took over the past two weeks while we were on vacation in SE Alaska and points in between.

It'll be interesting to see what the other photo groupies do with the theme, though.

5. HDR is one of the worst fads in photography in years...

Subtle HDR has its place, though most photos should be about composition, lighting and colour IMHO. But there's this trend using HDR as an artistic style in its own right that I don't like. The pictures look worse than rendered a lot of the time.

7. Amazing photos.

The one of Dresden is haunting. Thanks so much for sharing!

8. Yeah Dresden was just fucking levelled during WWII...

But the way the photographer incorporated that statue is indeed haunting!
