There are reports of spaceships appearing over New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles…. and… the Great Smokey Mountains? Yep. If this looks like a scene out of Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day, you wouldn’t be alone.

This is one of my first attempts at HDR photography… three bracketed exposures combined using Photomatix Pro. A liberal application of a few Lightroom presets yielded the surreal effect that makes it seem like a spaceship is about to show from behind the fiery clouds!

Quick, what’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the name Venice? If you’re like most people, you probably said… the gondola, right? Well, why wouldn’t you?

On the occasion that my imagination limits me – happens quite a lot ;) – I look for inspiration from fellow togs, books or the expansive internet.

So it was perfect timing, what with Valentine’s day on the horizon, when I stumbled across Anna The Red’s post on how to make a heart shaped egg. A few boiled eggs later, I had two hearts on a red silicone pan, beating as one!

The 90mm Macro lens attached to my EOS-10D has become my favorite combination to use in and around the house :)
