Digital cherry blossoms. Created using Vue d'Esprit.

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.

Nebula practice.

Taken in Kauai after a passing morning shower.

5 exposure HDR. Taken from the new walkway in Chapala, Mexico. I was in Mexico last week for a one week vacation. The weather was colder than normal and it rained several days, but those clouds made for wonderful sunsets. Enjoy all! Thanks for voting!!!

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.

I wasn't going to submit any more sunsets here, but I really like this shot. We had a fabulous sunset here tonight, and I was able to get these fishermen in action. Taken at Coyle Park, Point Chevalier, Auckland.

Lonely droplet on beautiful mums. Intentional blur.
