Those are really awesome. Were you standing in a bucket lift or something?

Nope! There is this walkway that goes over the hudson river that i ride my bike on because its so close to my house, theyre working on putting in an elevator so people from the train station can take it up on to the walkway.

We couldn't dance in the halls, because one time some kids started dancing and then started fighting.

Maybe he meant "or", "slightly increase contrast or slightly decrease contrast."

That's one of the advantages of black and white. Think about it, you can render a sky as almost any shade of gray from white to black and it'll still look basically "normal". When you edit in colors, you're kind of locked into literal values and hues, both by themselves and in relation to others.

Thats true, and for the most part I never take a picture because of color

I love the first picture.
What I do is just slightly increase contrast, and slightly decrease contrast, then increase sharpness  (if appropriate).
HDR is not really neccessary most of the time

What.

I have color versions of these but I can never manage to make color look realistic and not overly edited, any tips?
