    Very nice. You need to tell me how I can take shots like that - or are they photoshopped? :ugeek:

    I have a photography forum for learning :D

    many of those shots are HDR - High Dynamic Range...its basically 3 photos combined into 1.

    1) over exposed
    2) proper exposure
    3) under exposed

    the 3 photos are then combined using a software program called Photomatix..and then touch ups in photoshop.

    thanks. its hit or miss. I think I just got lucky. I've known many people who've gone and read about many more and never heard of anyone being allowed to take pictures. I was SHOCKED to see people with cameras...literally hundreds of people.

    well, a little of both but mostly a hobby. I have a website with my Chicago photography..http://chicagophotoshop.com

    the photos are for sale, but I dont really market it or anything. I just post them and if people want to buy one, the option is there.

    My parents were there last year and they weren't allowed to take pictures in the Chapel. When I went everyone was snapping away so I figured when in Rome ... ;) Everyone in the room was taking pictures and I think the 6 or so guards were overwhelmed.
