Wait, how did you get that picture of my living room!?
Wonderfully evocative picture.
Moon rising over Adelaide, South Australia.
A composite of the perigee moon from last night. A simple merge of two shots, one exposed for the moon and one exposed for the suburb in the foreground. That is how large she was appearing (the moon that is).

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it.
My pleasure!

The placement of the center fountain is, umm, unfortunate.
Even worse, looks like SHE is looking up HIS skirt !
Phras. you have forged the term "Ultra-real" here at our place to describe your imagery of late! Our collective hats are off to you ma'am! Exquisite...
Thanks, ijohn. I reckon it's not a bad thing to have engendered a term, though someday you'll have to explain to me what it means.
Thanks for taking the time to point out what you like, Reef.
It's interesting that you think of blending as "HDR", but then there was a guy on this forum who went so far as to call the use of GND filters "HDR". I guess the problem is that we don't have a good umbrella term for all of the various techniques one might employ to control tonality in a photo. To me blending is more like fancy dodging and burning (but that too was "HDR" according to that guy I mentioned).It doesnt seem fair that I always get to follow P
She's just too good!
And you're too kind. Thanks, Drift.
Nice one, HBOC. At first I thought that the reflections on the water were from a separate, longer exposure, but then I realized that star trails would be horizontal, not vertical forms.

I thought I might rock the boat by expressing it as "HDR".
I agree HDR isn't usually the word commonly used to describe blending, most associate it with Photomatix and glowing edges.
It was just my lazy shorthand for saying you've captured a beautiful scene with a high dynamic range and compressed it's tonal ratio down using blending so it's equally as beautiful for us to enjoy on a limited DR computer display.
(But it does make me ask the question of why Photomatix (et al.) output claims the term "HDR" when really all these methods produce essentially the same result from a scene with a High Dynamic Range?).

I certainly don't have the answer to that, though the term "tone mapping" might be a more precise description of what Photomatix does that blending/dodging/burning does not. I think that more capable camera sensors will eventually cause the term HDR to become obsolete, and we'll be back with just "dodging and burning" again (with blending continuing as a means to that end).
England in late May is like the Garden of Eden. Cartmel Fell Church, yesterday, while a service was taking place inside...
Found this in my my garden the other day......

Wonderful picture!
My bias toward black and white in both still photography and films is showing again.
Now, about the wine...

Haha, thanks. There was some great depth of field that I liked in the shot, but in color it still seemed a bit too busy. The B&W conversion really put the focus where I wanted it without making the rest of the image "boring". When I took that shot last night we were drinking vodka instead of wine. My mother just likes to keep a collection of her wine corks so I pulled some out of the vase to photograph.
