Same setup except for ISO. The quality
visibly deteriorates at 400 and over. Very noticeable
at ISO 1600. |

I used Transform/Perspective in Photoshop Elements
7 to straighten vertical lines. Looks better but
the Webber BBQ is very tiny, wrong proportion to
the rest of the house. |

| This is a very weird picture. Shot
against the sun and then converted to B&W in
Photoshop Elements 7. The light is very luminous. |

No matter what I did the photo of the fog did
not match the real thing. I will have to keep
on experimenting.

We have started to burn off before the next fire
season. Let's hope we won't have the terrible
fires ever again. |

I came across this effect accidentally. I liked
the colors. |

This is a merged image from 2 images taken at
different exposures so that both the sky and the
ground have good colors. The effect is incredible
although rather unnatural. I like it! |
