Wow...what a collection of great photos! I love this one too!

Thank you! What a flattering compliment coming from someone with so many beautiful photos themselves!

I'm currently spending some time at the Top of the World. Just 700km' south of the north pole on the last piece of land before the pole. To the left is the station I'm living at, in the center the runway and to the right the ocean. We are still in 24 hour sunshine but we do get what looks like will be a sunset and then the sun comes right back up.

Wow! Scott you are awesome...how wonderful to be able to do such "only in my dreams" kind of things. Enjoy every moment! Excellent capture BTW!

thanks hamshire. I have to say I've been fortunate in my life. Although many up here can't see the beauty and only wait to go home and forget the place. They really have no touch of what is around them in the world. Such a shame. Thanks again!

Beautiful colors!

I love the red backpack in the picture. Northface should buy this photo from you. I'd love to hang it in my home!

Where's the smores? Excellent capture!

I really enjoy this picture...simple message, simple photo. Great job!

Thanks Tammy...I try remember this message...even when I am not feeling it!

Cool! I like the contrast between the green, blue and black. It's also a really great composition, with those lines in the grass. The gardon-long does break the scene on a good way.

Furthermore I have no idea what they are doing, I guess it's baseball or American football or something? Are they signing with their hands?

This is the beginning of a Major League Baseball game and the ground keepers are listening to the United States National Anthem. Thanks for commenting!

j'aime ce contrasme, cela fait ombre chinoise, superbe idée

Thanks...I think!

For a moment, when I didn't see the topic yet, I was confused about how you did this. Nice idea!

Only thing is, the girl (your daughter, I presume?) isn't in focus. Maybe it's an idea to use this for a selective-saturation project?

Hey Tamara! Thanks for liking the idea...I kind of hate my point and shoot because of the focus issue...but I don't have the time in my life to really get into the SLR photography. But I can't wait and I live through photographers like you!

How lucky!

Dat is een mooie! Misschien zou ik wel die mensen bij de vloedlijn wegklonen. Het zand heeft een hele mooie structuur, gladgepolijsd door de wind. En al die cabines, allemaal hetzelfde maar ook toch net even verschillend. En natuurlijk de wegzakkende zon... prachtig.

Dank Tamara. Ik ben niet zo'n kloner, maar in dit geval heb je wel gelijk.

This is an awesome shot Great color and composition.

I was just wondering the setup and settings of the shot. I would like to learn how you got those great sun rays in the sky. Did you use a graduated filter?

Thanks Lucus,
I didn't use anything special. In fact this was shot with a friend's point & shoot camera. I didn't bring my DSLR. Just to show that you don't need pro tools to get a nice picture.
The sun rays were there as you see them.
