Virgina water runis

Not sure if this is in the right section, this is my first post, this is VERY derelict please enjoy.

The ruins, Virginia Water The Crown Estate

This famous feature was imported from the Roman site of Leptis Magna, near Tripoli in Libya in 1816

Initially the artefacts were stored at the British Museum before being brought to this site in 1826. The arrangement of the ruins was conducted under the direction of the Royal Architect Sir Jeffry Wyatville

In order to protect the stonework and avoid any risk of injury to visitors the area was enclosed in the 1950′s

Not running your efforts with HDR down but does not give a true representaion of the site you visited, it would have been nice to see the ruin in it's natural state as well. Saying that I have never been to the place so as it is not that far from me I must get down there sometime.

Whilst HDR is not a definite no, it is often an open invitation to some lighthearted "constructive criticism" from other forum members.

Having said that, I'd far prefer to see some subtly done HDR, than out of focus and generally crap photo's. Just been looking through some of my earlier exploration pics, and can't believe I actually had the brass neck to post them in the first place.

HDR is High Dynamic Range, where you use (in my case) 3 photos one over exposed, one correctly exposed and one under exposed so you get high mid and low tones.
