1. That's a beautiful photo, very well timed. Here's one I shot last fall that I like a lot.

I call it "Fire On The Mountain".

5. It really does look like a flame!

Kind of like a fractal flame image, too. And, getting the hawk in there

[bluesbassman]

6. Thanks.

I was about a quarter mile away, using a 200mm zoom. I didn't even see the bird when I was setting up the shot, noticed it in post processing. Sometimes you just get lucky.

8. I didn't take that shot. My brother in Asia had it on his facebook page. I stole it.

9. Well then you stole a very nice shot.

20. The first thing I thought was that there's always one in the crowd

who just has to show off!

2. Here's one of my own that's a favorite:

3. Nice shot kentauros!

The sky gradient is perfect to catch the last bit of sunset and allow the stars to come out. Like the filter effect on the moon too. Nice timing and set up.

4. Thank you!

I'm not sure what filter I was using at the time, only that it was a long exposure (you can see it in the shifting of the stars and the plane-lighting trail.)

It is one of my favorite night shots I've done, and haven't quite been able to duplicate since.

7. Oh that is gorgeous. Would make a great screen saver.

10. I'd be happy to PM you a bigger image link if you want it

[applegrove]

11. I think I can steal it right as it is. I won't put it up right now.

I have a picture of my cat who died just last year up for now. But when I'm ready for a new screen saver, yours it will be. Can I share it on facebook too?

[kentauros]

14. Yes, you can put it on FB, too.

I have my "copyright" though that doesn't stop others from using stuff anyway. I just enjoy taking photos for fun, not so much profit

13. It is already almost the perfect size for a screensaver, it renders that big on the

DU for me. I love the gradient of shades of blue. Stars are my favourite. You must have been well out of a city when you took the shot.

15. My parents live in Dripping Springs, Texas,

and even then, they're a five-minute drive outside of the city. I always end up sleeping much longer out there as there's no traffic noise!


Here's a pic of their house, looking uphill, and another long-duration photo. The image folder says it was Christmas, 2007:
