I was at a Mariners game (Seattle, Wa - Safeco Field) and thought I would try out my tilt-shift lens again... not sure I got the miniaturization quite right... but looks pretty cool still.

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

Perched on a hilltop outside of Sintra, Portugal sits the Palacio da Pena. I chose to visit the Moorish castle on a hill opposite instead, where the views of the surroundings were just stunning. I hope you like it!

Castle Mountain is located within Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, approximately half-way between Banff and Lake Louise. Visitors usually only pull over to take pictures of wild animals, so they were kind of distracted when they saw me kneeing in the middle of the road, aiming towards Castle Mountain. :-D

A landscape of the Monument Valley, Utah. I didn't modify a lot the picture, the colors were good.

I didn't think i was going to get a good image but then the sky opened up and i was able to get a this nice silhouette of the tree. i was probably about 1,000 feet above the ocean. Hope you enjoy.
