BIO
Troy Mathisen
...began his professional career as a recording engineer in 1977.
Shortly thereafter, he expanded into providing concert sound-reinforcement and technical support services for many "internationally-renowned" performing artists.
After a couple years of doing concert sound around the Pacific Northwest, he moved to Hollywood California, to enhance his education and experience in audio and music recording and production, for the film, television and record industries.
After 5 years with Paramount Recording Studios as a technician and audio engineer, he began his education in computer music production and graphic design.
Two years later Troy was avidly educating himself in 3D modeling, rendering and animation development and production, while working as a recording engineer for Buena Vista Sound at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank California.
By 1990, he was working as a soundtrack composer and music producer, while obtaining an education in simulation and virtual reality technologies.
Two years later he was working extensively in video engineering and production, giving occasional dissertations to college students on virtual reality environment engineering and computer music development and production for film and video.
In 1995, Troy devoted his full time to learning Internet and web-based technologies.
By 1997, he was functioning as Director of Internet and Multimedia Development for a high-tech telecommunications firm in the bay-area of central California.
To this day Troy continues to design and build intelligent web application software and information distribution systems, as well as focusing as much time as possible on his two greatest loves - the arts and sciences.

Oooh weee! I saw one of those today, and together with the snow-covered trees it looked absolutely beautiful. So i ran inside to fetch my camera, but by the time i got out again....it was gone...sniff. Im sure glad you managed to capture it though. And what a capture it is. Gorgeous! Have a great day and a merry Christmas!!!! #:O)

Neat prism! Can't be a sundog since it appears the sun is behind the cloud. Sweet capture!

This looks very interesting. Optical weather phenomenons always fascinate me! Did you zoom to obtain this result, or is this just wide angle? Is the sun far left (say about one foot left of this image as you see it on your screen)? If so it might be a sundog where the red is more expressed due to the sun standing low above the horizon. Anyway, it IS an breathtaking capture! Stunning work! :)
