those of you familiar with my gallery might think this is an old shot but i assure you i just got this one over the weekend while down there trying to improve my technique, though it is similar to one of my posts from the pov stand point, imho this is much better then the previous post! thank you for looking, eb

Stunning work. Looks like you used a star filter. I like the effect:}

thank you!!! nope, no star filter. i just set the apperture to the smallest and did a really long exposure, 20 or 30 seconds but i can't remember which and i'm too lazy to look it up in photoshop...lol!

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

Superb night shots :)

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
