These Trees Are So Cool

I don't know what kind of trees these are, but I think they are very cool trees...and I am sure they have been around for a very long time...these are in Singapore...

Family Portrait

It was a nice day today, so I took some family shots, and then played with some textures and On-One's Frames (On One makes some very cool Photoshop plug-ins)...what do ya think?

Skywatch Friday - The Sky From Below

Happy Friday!!

Be sure to visit skies from all over the world HERE...

This shot is from Papua...my favorite place in the world to dive...

A Couple of Birds Flew Into Our Yard

I am not a bird expert, but I THINK these are Lorikeets? My daughter came running to me saying there were some pretty birds in the garden...I rushed to grab my camera when I saw what she was talking about...it's not every day when birds like these pay a visit...

Tune Hotel - Kucing, Malaysia

Yes, I know, it is just a boring little hotel...

Funny, I took this photo from my room at the Hilton, just across the street...somehow, Tune Hotel made for a better photo than the Hilton...

Tunicates Glowing

Underwater, it's like Christmas 24/7...

Elephant Dives Into Mud

It's not something you see every day...an elephant head first into the mud. When we first saw this massive animal, I thought maybe it had died, but then we saw the elephant driving his head into the mud...maybe he had an itch?

Hong Kong Mall

A pretty impressive atrium in this mall...I am always amazed at what man can build...

Skywatch Friday - Orange Cloud Over Nepal

Happy Friday!!

My skywatch photo today comes from Nepal. It was early in the morning, and this big, soft orange cloud appeared over the mountains as I came down from Anapurna Base Camp...it only last a few minutes, and then it turned white...

Be sure to check out skies from all around the world HERE...

An Underwater HDR From Under The Pier

I was experimenting tonight with creating an HDR (High Dynamic Range) photo from underwater...obviously, I am not able to put my camera on a tripod underwater, so I processed this one from a single RAW image with Photomatix, and then did some color adjustments in Photoshop...I like the way it came out...

Sargasm Frog Fish

I was getting tired of posting photos from Jakarta...time for an underwater photo...

This is actually an older photo that I took with my film camera a few years ago...took it with Fuji Velvia...remember that great film??

We had an earthquake today in Jakarta...well, the epicenter was some four hours away in Western Java, but we felt it well here...very strange sensation if you have never felt one before. Apparently it was a 7.0 quake...I hope those near Tasikmalaya (near the epicenter) are all ok...

He aint pretty, but still a very cool lookin' fish...you can find them in Sargasm Weed floating on the surface...

A Boy and His Anchors

Here's another shot from the Photowalk last weekend...

As you know, I like nice textures, and always have an eye open for them when hunting for photos...the young kid kneeling down was a bonus...
