Looks nice

Good one temp0!

Nice. I am really enjoying making these. I just wish I had more pictures with the appropriate content. I've notice that views taken at a perceived angle seemed to have a better end result. What I mean by that is if there are long straight lines, like a street or a sports field, it ends up better if said lines angle across the picture and not straight from top to bottom or side to side. That's my opinion anyway. Here is a good example.

Anke - nice image, probably one of my favorite that I've seen here.

Joe - that one rocks the universe. Looks most of the fans (even in the blurred sections) are wearing red, so it really pops. Magnificent.

Thanks...there are some awesome ones in this thread. I already have it in my head to go take some pictures that will suit this effect so I can play more

Lovely shot, Joe. I think you're right on the angle thing too.

Thanks, glad you like it

here is one of Vegas, north of the main part of the strip though

That is a greats shot. Taken from the top of the stratosphere?

thanks!
yeah top of the stratosphere. I'm gonna go back for sunset

Great idea - with all the lights on the strip, you'll get a fantastic photo to T&S. Love the daylight shot though - very nice.

here is a fav. of mine...

Thank you both! I've got to try some more

Just monkeying around here for a bit, before the wife and I leave for a dinner party. I was lying in bed last night wondering what would happen if I changed the gradient on the quick mask from a horizontal position, to a vertical.

Of course it kills that feeling of "I'm looking down at a teeny tiny model", but still renders (in my humble opinion) sort of a neat effect. Neither of these two pictures are very great, and I was shooting with a bright mid-day sun that sort of washed everything out. Weekend visit to NYC, 2008.

Now I want to mess around with some of the other gradient effects.
