I took this shot from the point known locally as "The Surprise" looking out over Hope Valley in Derbyshire.

Nikon D90, Nikkor 18-105mm VR, Photomatix Pro 2.3, Adobe Photoshop CS5.

The Furka Pass (elevation 2436 meters) is a high mountain pass in the Swiss Alps which I crossed over on my way home from Zermatt to Zurich. As I found out later, this pass has been the location for a chasing scene in James Bond - Goldfinger!

This image is a panoramic photo, stitched from 12 single frames using the program "Kolor Autopano". The sky has been replaced to make it look more dramatic and I used Nik Color Efex 3.0 to add some atmospheric warmth. Furthermore, I did some heavy repairing in Photoshop to get rid of the central roads, wires and other distracting elements. Finally, I added low opacity vignetting to focus the view to the center.

This is not an HDR file, but its a burned export to JPG. An old red barn smack in the middle of suburban Maryland. I used Photomatix Pro for the HDR processing.

A new art piece I finished. Not a photo-manipulation. All hand drawn.

I used a public domain NASA image of the Horsehead nebula, removed the noise and errors and optimized the color range and saturation.

The view from my hot tub on my back deck.:lol: I wish. Created in Vue and Photoshop.

This High Dynamic Range (HDR) photo was taken in the early morning hours at Calgary International Airport (YYC). Our flight was going to Toronto. While waiting for the crew to get ready, the sky was giving us a nice show, which reflected in the aircraft's body.

Canon 40D with 17-85mm lens. HDR in Photomatix, minor level and saturation applied in Adobe Photoshop.

9-shot bracketing, 6-frame panorama, totaling 54 exposures. Combined in Photomatix and then merged in Adobe Photoshop CS5. Final color corrections in Adobe Lightroom 3 and sharpening and resizing in CS5 with the Kenko Polarizing filter.

Nikon D300s, AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED at 17mm and ISO 100. Velbon tripod, Manfrotto head.

Its a horse looking at some lines, basically - oh yeah there are some stars too and some dusty stuff - the horse probably wonders what is going on. Not to worry though, he's going to the glue factory soon anyway.

This will never happen to me. A 3D image created by me, with a cityscape from VersonPhoto (used with permission).
