The road between Queenstown and Glenorchy was shut due to a rock fall, so waiting on the side of the road the clouds started to break as the sun came up. The colors were stunning.

Canon EOS Rebel T1i (500D), 18-55IS lens, shot at 18mm. f/8, 1/60s. I added contrast and saturation in Adobe Lightroom 2.

This was taken for the photography club at my school. It is green Palmolive dish soap on a cup. The color is natural and comes from the soap refracting the light from the SB-600 flash.

If you were staying in Okaukuejo, Namibia you would have the same view. Except that most of the year it is so dry that animals come to the water hole to drink. Here, it's the end of the rainy season and is as lush as it gets. That day no animals could be bothered to walk all the way to this oasis, however, the sky was putting on a show of its own for us.

This shot is made of 5 HDR images, each made of 7 exposures. When i was hiking up to the "Breitenstein", near "Wendelstein", in the Bavarian Alps, i had to photograph this nice panorama!

I wanted to call it "can you see your hometown", but in the single screen version you cannot see any hometowns, so i called it "View from Breitenstein".
