Post by: MattBurt on July 15, 2022, 12:10:32 pm: I'm in Michigan visiting my mom. Big change of landscape compared to home.

It sure is! I got home to Colorado tonight and feel inspired to be back too.

Hard to tell. Real? or Reflection?

Often wondered myself what my eye saw versus what was real. Nice.

Well done.

Thanks. All real! I'm not that good at Photoshop. :)

Thanks Francois! I love the green world and wanted to share the wonder.

Here's another firefly shot I processed once home. About 50 minutes worth over a couple hundred exposures. I just love fireflies and went out to get photos of them several times while I was there.

Thanks, me too. It kind of has a Jackson Pollock feel to it.

I do too.

Great idea and something I have never seen before and would like to see more of.
