From a series of macro shots taken during a trip along the Oregon coast.

I shot the Lunar Eclipse @ about 2:15 am and really liked the image, although I felt it was lacking something. So I took an image of the night sky that I had captured last Thanksgiving out in the countryside and combined the 2 images.

Fairly simple but makes for a really nice wallpaper. Created in Vue 8 Infinite, thanks...

I was hoping for some clouds but they blew out before sunset. But it still turned out good.

For some reason I really like this photo as a wallpaper. The fact that it's out of focus allows your icons to really look like they are in foreground. Oh and it just looks so damn bright and happy. Enjoy!

In 2009, I spent Christmas at the southern-most point of Africa: Cape Agulhas. I was eager to see another amazing sunset as I did so often being in Africa for a couple of months. However, there was a big layer of clouds covering the whole sky and I was pretty disappointed. That was when the idea for this shot struck me. There was this small strip just over the horizon where the Sun illuminated the clouds, restrained by the Atlantic ocean below and the thick layer of clouds above. I exposed for the sunlight and left everything else pitchblack to achieve this result.
