and I like that the color is still true in the foreground, especially on the second one. It seems like once you learn how to use these, you could save a lot of computer time. And I just don't have the patience for doing all that bracketing and layer stuff.

I think the polarizer I have is going to come in handy in Nome next week. The forecast is for mostly sunny (and quite cold) all week long so the opportunity exists to really sharpen things up.
