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.

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

Taken in Kauai after a passing morning shower.

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

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.

Alright, I know this is pretty much the same view as the last one I submitted, but when the clouds are doing something like this, I just can't resist...

Lonely droplet on beautiful mums. Intentional blur.

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.
