The shot below is a black and white HDR that had some treatment in Silver Efex Pro. I posted one of these not too long ago, but here is a pointer to my Silver Efex Pro Review for you. Even if you think you are not into B&W photography, you will be after using this! The coupon code of "STUCKINCUSTOMS" saves you money too, in case you decide you love the free trial and want to get it.

My friend John P from One Man's Blog suggested that I visit this place while I am on my little trip to DC. It was already on my list, but he bumped it up! I went there to shoot at sunset, and got back to the hotel in enough time to process.
To be honest, it's quite difficult to make 365 images per year that pass my quality standards! Really! Maybe it looks easy or something... but I assure you it is not! Hehe...
Anyway, it was just my young son and I wandering around the cemetery for a few hours as the sun was going down on a dreary and rainy day here in Washington, D. C. Arlington National Cemetery is considered hallowed grounds around here, and it was a life-changing experience for my son.
After a long walk in a nearly empty cemetery, we made our way to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The entire facility was closing, and the guard told us it was time to leave. I talked to him for a moment, and he let my son and I through. We went to the steps of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and sat there for a long time. We were totally alone except for the solitary Honor Guard who was guarding the tomb. There was a light rain and not much day remaining. The Honor Guard walked towards one end of the path, clicked his heels, checked his gun, stood guard, then strode back and forth along his short route. It was completely amazing to be there alone in the rain... just watching this happen again and again.

Rome in a Rain Puddle
Rome in a Rain Puddle
Sometimes the best views of beautiful things are right at your feet. While being a tourist
In Roma we expiernced some heavy afternoon showers. The good thing is the streets are shiny and for a brief time reflective, the down side is you better watch your step.

Only the Second time I've been able to catch one of these - moon dropping below the visible horizon over Melbourne's north-western suburbs, about half an hour ago.

Snow Pattern -?ingvellir, Iceland
Snow Pattern - ?ingvellir, Iceland
This one is from a good session on new year day 2010. Instead of stay up all night I decided to go home a little early to wake up the next morning to get the sunrise (well, not that early, sunrise is between 10-11am this time of year).
This is frozen lake? ingvellir. Only parts of its interesting north shore freezes during cold spells because in other parts underground water surfaces in underwater cracks keeping the surface water unfrozen. These cracks are formed were the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates drift apart and they are popular amongst divers as the water is extremely clear with visibility well over 100m. These cracks can also be seen on land in nearby? ingvellir national park.
