Yoooo Hooooo!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! TGIF!!!! And i now have 5 days off!!! WOO HOOO!!! Although...i should probably spend them on buying Christmas-gifts....UGH!!!

this is a fantanstic use of fill-in flash and long exposure. Personally I would have cropped the bottom and top 1/6th of the image, and increased the drama of the image. Beautifully shot.

Oooh...fire and ash....beautiful color combo here Andreas.I just read you used your fingers to diffuse the flash.Smart thinking,you!If the full flash had been on the foreground it would never have looked this great.It would've visually swallowed up the whole pic.I'm not sure why Modesty thinks you used hard posterize...Doesn't look like that to me...Any way happy shopping,lol and hope that cam is waiting for you xmas morning!ADVHD!LOL!-M ;^)
