When I travel, I like to choose hotels, bed and breakfasts, and lodges that offer photographic opportunities. This might be an incredible lobby, a rooftop restaurant or view, or traditional architecture indicative of the local culture. These kinds of places are all over the world, and as long as I have to sleep somewhere, why not take cool pictures, too? For my photo tours, I do the same when possible. This beautiful courtyard is in a bed and breakfast in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. I ran it through a new piece of software I just purchased, Aurora HDR Pro, which gives you the choice of doing realistic or surealistic HDR.

Jim - Yes we did, Connie. I thought that was a great trip. I love the images from it.

Connie - Agree with the hotels. Had some really nice ones on the Scotland tour last spring.

Jim - Hi Stan, I usually don't review products like other photographers do. If I like a lens, camera body, or software, I talk about them and show examples. In my Dec. issue of Photo Insights (which I assume you get), I do discuss why I like Aurora. But I can tell you here that Aurora has become my favorite HDR processing software.

Stan Greenberg - Jim: I have been hearing a lot about AuroraHDR Pro. Will you be doing a comparison review of Aurora vs Photomatix vs HDR Efex Pro 2 vs Photoshop CC?
