Since everyone is posting up pictures and whatnot i figured I would do the same.
I am a bit of an amateur photog but these are from me...

This is me with an M4 at one of our academies this year... this is an entry house on the JFTB military base. (ok, i didnt take this pic lol)

I did take these however.... and NO photoshop, other than resizing for web usage.

Hanging out in Malibu one day... took this with an ultrazoom lens 300mm

This next picture was taken at a fireworks show on the 4th a few years ago... I had the advantage of an empty field, and i left the exposure open bewteen 1-15 seconds at a time, I took 150+ pictures and maybe liked 5 pictures...

One night in Hollywood on a overpass... tripod and I left the exposure open for +/- 5 seconds... again, lots of shots, only a few good ones.

From the inside of a helicopter over Kauai a couple years ago... this waterfall (pic 1) is the same waterfall from the opening scenes in Jurassic park, the original.

Ok, back to socal...
Im working the overnight at an estate in Malibu on the beach - Broad beach to be exact. I took this picture when it was pitch black out - maybe 4am but the camera picks up way more light than the human eye can... hence the colors.

Awesome shots! Those waterfall shots were breathtaking. I have always had a very strong affinity for waterfalls.

Sooo, looks like I touched on a nerve with my last post about Sunglasses. From the looks of your first picture, it was too dark in there for your shades, so while completing your entry and clearing, you obviously ripped the plastic hanging blinds off the track to gain more light. The spoils lay before your feet. haha

LOL - the sunglasses were on because we had been outside for a few hours, but stepped inside for a quick picture!

but i like your rendition!
