interesting, but the images are too big for the screen!

please keep in mind that the images which you want to present, should fit to the monitor ;=)

@Connie: its time to make and hardware (monitor) update :P
I really like my 17 inch LCD SyncMaster with 1280x1024px and this shots looks on that OK :P

@digital-tom: Im planing to do same "project" here, in Warsaw. Only thing for which Im still waiting is real spring with higher temperatures (then 0 C). One more time: great photos and great idea :)

The first and secound have to be my faovrite here. I'm a sucker for a good light streak and both these shots have really nice ones, most notably the 1st one. I really like the high contrast feel in the last shot with all the debry on the floor. The second one has great colors and the reflection adds nicely to the soft feel of the shot. Well done on all shots!

pretty nice... what kind of post-op work did you do to thoes images?

[blinking8s]

[darkphoenix]

excellent images 1-3 are my faves. did you do much post processing?

@GeoS,

I use 1024 x 768 pixel, with a modern TFT...
you recommend me hardware update, do you mean my glasses? They are pretty fresh ;=)

well please, nobody should recommend me to update any hardware, that is my main obsession...

i recommend a 19inch widescreen. you can pick those up for little over £100... - heh, sorry couldn't resist answering back. i love my new widescreen at 1440 x 900.

[digital-tom]

back on topic... the 3rd and 4th images are absolutely stunning. did you use a filter (if so which) to capture those beautiful beams of light without any lens flare? all those images are beautifully exposed... well done.

[GeoS]

@Connie: I just have one 17" SyncMaster 710N, 3x160GB inside, portable 20GB in USB bay, 9in1 card reader with 2x1GB Sandisks and more or less that is only my computer, one of 4 at home (one more for father, one for brother and one notebook to school and outside use) :P
Im also small and just begining hardware/gadgets maniac :P

The only thing i've done to get those ray's of light is taking advantage of the dust that was available @ the location. Every picture is taken in 3 shots, 1 normal, 1 overexposed and 1 underexposed. With desaturation and levels in PS i've become the wanted effect. No filter used, i'm against filters in PS.

don't get me wrong ... i meant a lens filter - i avoid ps filters as well. good exposure technique though... something i want to give a go now i've seen the results.
