Just took a trip downtown. Unfortunately, I only had my 50-135mm, so I didn't have much FOV, but I worked with it.

Great series! I especially liked the first two

Nice, edgey urban shots - I love this stuff.

I quite like these, thanks for posting.

The last three feel a tad overly HDR-ey ... Dunno if they're actually HDRs or not, just my $0.02.

Thanks, Jer. It's becoming a favorite type of photography for me.

Thanks for the feedback. None of them are HDR, the feel of the last 3 is due to the HPF applied in each case. I like the feel it gives, though people do often say it looks HDR-ish.

what is hpf?

Sorry, ever since I took Linear Systems, it's just made sense.

HPF is High Pass Filter. I duplicate the image, make the duplicate layer an overlay and apply Filter->High Pass
