I was in Wichita briefly last Wednesday, and snapped these photos...

I am continually amazed by your work. Great job!

[LivingIn622]

great pictures. The dark sky and black and white pictures really look great.

[Dream'n]

Wow am I ever glad I looked at these. Very impressive. Those first couple pics I almost felt I was in Europe. Amazing.

[skyline]

Eventhough I've never been in the city (just driving thru on I-35), it's always caught my interest. Guess it looks like the right sized city to reside... IMO. Nice shots, THANKS!

[Defiant6]

I know I'm a bit late responding, but WOW those pictures are awesome of my home city!! You do such excellent work with those!

[NanoBison]

All I can say is WOW. You are a talent with the camera and Photoshop.

[F-Misthebest]

Very nice pix. Wonderful shots and angles too.

[the pope]

i feel like i haven't seen a thread from you in a while, nice work.

some of your post processing reminds me of some photographers that "technicolor" their work. That is, they shoot it in B&W then literally paint the cell (i.e. shot) themselves.

[Hayward]

As usual your evening shots never cease to impress me.

I mean this is just INCREDIBLE:

[Buckeye Native 001]

What camera/effects do you use to get these results? These pictures look more like paintings than actual photographs :tup:

[Ex-Ithacan]

Missed this the first time around, glad it got revived. Wonderful pics Tosspot. Such a brooding feel to them. Thanks for sharing.

[Hayward]

I'm positive they are hdr. I keep trying this affect and fail at it miserably.

[ChicagoSpire2000]

Amazing
Ive lived in Wichita for 12 years and have never seen anything like that of it
Thank you

[arlekin_m]

really cool pics
beatiful little city

[Cincinnatis]

Dude ... your work is amazing! Great burn techniques! What filter are you using for the photos that look like they were drawn?

Simply stunning. Fantastic portrayals of a very bizarre city.

Everytime I think of Wichita I think of the sleazy cab driver in Planes Trains and Automobiles. The producers of that movie got Wichita down to a T with that one.

Fantastic photos here; you make Wichita look great.
