A beautiful sunrise this morning. Taken at Cornwall Park, Auckland.

I took this picture while standing on Ponte dell'Accademia bridge, looking south down the Canale Grande onto Santa Maria della Salute church.

Nikon D700, AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED, ISO 50, Camera Raw.

45°26', 12°20'

I found this in my archives, it's similar to my Layered Sunrise shot with a slightly different foreground. This was taken on Auckland's North Shore at sunrise.

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

Nebula practice.

This is my first attempt at photographing smoke. Strobist info.: One flash at 1/2 power from the left, reflector on the right, black background. Rotated image and painted the smoke in Photoshop with brush in overlay mode.
