Sunset rain over the Sweetwater Range in California's Eastern Sierra a couple of nights ago. Monsoon rains and thunderstorms with lightning should continue for another couple of days, setting up conditions for more great sunsets!

The final installment of my Google+ Photographers/Photography list.
The final installment of my Google+ Photographers/Photography list. List 1.5 Post 3 It culminates in a total of over 440 photographers in 5 lists. Even though G+ is just in field testing I have the sense folks are getting some"list" fatigue, so this is the final one. Keep on sharing, keep on commenting and offering your honest feedback. Take the chance to learn from others who have a different view of the world through their lens. Thanks again for all the great feedback. Everyday I get to enjoy hundreds and hundreds of incredible images in my stream for all of you. Again, my criteria is simple. Love of and for photography and a desire to share not only their images and creativity but also their ideas and feedback to other in this network. I have viewed peoples profile, looked at their images, read their posts and comments and have added them to the list based on this. Feel free to share and or comment and let me know if you want to be added. Here we go. List 1.5 Post 3 Niki

+1 this post if you're OK with the theory behind getting maximum dynamic range from photos, but (like me) you sometimes get tired of seeing the "clown puke" style HDRs, with goofy colors and destroyed light values.

My first trial of software which imports photos/albums from Facebook to Google+. It worked! This would be some of my favorite photos when I joined Facebook in 2007 or so. I've taken a lot of photos since then, and DSLRs have come a long way in a few short years as well!
