View fit for a queen, redux

This is the view that awaits you if you take the time to hike up to Queen Anne Hill in Seattle. (You could take the bus, too.)

Tall and slender: The Flatiron Building in New York

Recently re-processed this photo, taken about two years ago in New York, to test a relatively new HDR feature within Canon’s Digital Photo Professional software. It certainly works in a pinch … but there are far better HDR software options out there.
At least the building looks nice. We can’t go wrong there 🙂
