San Antonio trip

We went to San Antonio 2 weeks ago. My wife had to do some consulting at the Tesoro HQ up on the north side of the city. I had a few days to kill. I ended up visiting several old Catholic churches in and around the city. I don't do a great deal of HDR but architectural interiors are one place the technique is useful as it really balances shadows and highlights by merging several different exposures into one image.

I also ended up walking around the Botanical Gardens where I the technique worked in situation where the overhead sun made for a lot of contrast.

As usual I also took pictures as we dined in some nice restaurants.

Last 2!

I never tire of your pics Chris, but the B&W one of the church is really special - even for you.

Shame you didn't get a picture of the Quadrangle, where Geronimo was held, for the whovians.

Excellent job as usual, great pictures of interesting subjects. looks like you were living on pretty tall piggies. :haha:

Thanks to all, in retrospect the image of the iced tray of oysters is almost like the church with pews I guess. Kind of pulls you into the center.

Beautiful pix as usual.

Thanks to all for the nice comments. I love the feeling of creating some nice images when traveling.
