Wonderful stuff! Hey Slynkster, I think I'll give away the fractal experiments....they just can't compete with what SueO is showing us with her magic eye!!

I'm not even going to choose, each has its own individual ambience...I love them both!

I love farm fresh eggs ~ especially ones that come with novelty fighter jets in 'em!! ;-)> Great Shot, thanks for sharing it with us.

Ooooooh Boooy, Looks like REDEYE time!!! Can't say I understand exactly what you're doing (animating naughty lil'Bugger in a movie called Boo! I presume, lol) sounds like timeconsuming work but! Good luck...me, I'm sticking to f*#%ing around with UltraFractal!)

Your eye for the magical detail in everything continues to amaze me. Another beautiful pic :-)>

This is a very beautiful and to me, sensual image Niko, if that term is appropriate when refering to an image of a plant. :-)>

Of course I meant people..not peole! Oh and the other guys made good points too! Especially about a sturdy mount - even the best telescope is USELESS without a dependable stable tripod. All the best! ;-)>

Syyd, nnelson1 has made some good points. The sky has been my passion since I was 12...At the moment, I have a 8" Reflector(Newtonion) which gives great viewing but is VERY bulky with a big mount and not really transportable. I also have a Celestron Nexstar5 (my favourite toy)...this is a Schmidt-Cassegrain, so it is smaller and very transportable (handy if you have to travel to dark-sky sites)...It is also controlled by an onboard computer which (once it is set-up) will point to almost any interesting object you can name in the sky! To attach a Camera you need a thing called a T-Adapter, specific to the lens mount on your camera. Also keep in mind that if you want to do serious astrophotography an accurate motor-driven telescope is a must, because at the focal-lengths we're talking about here, your subject moves out of view VERY quickly with the earths rotation! I suggest popping in to a local Astronomy Club meet (look up one nearest you on the web) and talk to peole who really KNOW their stuff back-to-front. They are invariably really friendly and you may even pick up a good scope 2nd hand! Good Luck! As above, you can contact me too if you need to know more...

Another amazing shot! What planet have you come from SueO? (Hope you don't think this question is rude, it just means I think your images are 'Out of this World!'

Yes JordyArt, I remember MaxHeadRoom, very funny show, even got a few on tape...don't know about a connection with Bryce though!...(but MaxHeadRoom was the very first virtual CG character, to my knowledge..) Alpha, you can smack ME upside the head with a Dictionary if I ever make too much of a habit of it! (Lecturing that is...OH ~ unless I was being paid!)

Count me in then Alpha! (I hope I'm not getting in too deep...how many images do you suggest we're looking at?) Oh...and Visitor42, LOL ~I would never kick your ass...(but I might spank it, if you like that kind of thing) ;-)>

Oh, by the way Dorkusal, I forgot to mention that I liked the portfolio idea...busy life schedules or not, it may give us an oppurtunity to stretch ourselves creatively a bit more....Good luck with the thesis. ;-)>

This is indeed beautiful. And yes, I think mathematicians would tell you that fluid dynamics is very much in the realm of chaos and complexity theory, which is also where we get the lovely equations for fractals! (Thus endeth the lesson) LOL ;-)>

Hi again dorkusal! Thankyou for your compliment! Perhaps one day I could maybe approach the skill of people such as Alpha (Not false modesty, just knowing my limits...and the limits of my equipment!) Have you completed your thesis yet?

God I hate it when I check out photos of what you people look like - and you all look sexier than me...(and younger too!) lol
