Chim Chimney Chim Chimney ...

[ourkind]

I was in the Blue Mountains on Saturday night, forecast was clear and cold. Slowly getting through some of the photos I took. This one is practically straight out of the camera with a little contrast boost in CS6. 16mm 30sec f/2.8 ISO 6400.

Foreground lit with my lighter.

Sensational Carlos!

Love the innovation from the lighter, must have been one of those Kinicky one's from Grease??? ;)

Superb image, framing, Milky Way, clouds, sky, it has it all.....

Love it Carlos very well done!
I am spending most of my time on IIS looking at this section. The imagination and talent shown here - you guys are modern day space artists. For gosh sake print them and sell them - at your local markets wherever.

[ourkind]

Peter thanks for your kind and encouraging comments. I'm actually in the process of making your suggestion a reality, checked out a few of the local markets today :) and waiting on the print results to see how they appear on photographic paper and canvas, hopefully I won't need to make too many colour adjustments.

Cheers!
