Wil...I just checked their web site and you can use it with aperture and lightroom, see link.

Great shots. I love that lens. I dropped mine at the last drag race but its still working fine.

Nice Wil. I've always wondered what the inside of that building looks like. I live just two exits south of there and pass it often going to and from Pizza Hut Park and the Shops at Legacy. Thanks for the cool look-see! Great shots too.

Cool! That is new and I was not aware of that. Thanks!

EDIT: Topaz Fusion Express is only for the Mac platform.

Thank you sir. And I've been to your home... to return that quick-release plate... in Dec. '08... when we shot Natalie.

The building is really very nice inside. Once you get past the lobby however, it's just like any other office building.

What an amazing lobby! And wonderful shots of it.

And it is a bank, I can assure you I have not seen any bank interiors like that one here in OZ. The old Commonwealth Bank Building in Martin Place in Sydney was nice, but this is gorgeous.

I am off to have a look at the Topaz labs site, thanks for the tip.

Odille: Well, technically, it is a branch of "Beal Bank" but it is not a "normal" bank that has a vault and tellers and such. It's more of the commercial side where we buy loans from large corpations and do fun stuff with stocks, bonds, indices, treasury notes, et cetera.

It was supposed to look HDR... That's kinda the point.

And since this was resurrected, here's one from today:

And that's why I said it had too much of the effect. The only hdr shots I've ever liked are the ones that barely qualify as hdr, using the technique to a bare minimum. This one has too much of the effect for my taste, as I stated in the last post.
