    Great image. I guess that you mounted the camera on a tripod for the photo and that there was quite a bit of post processing? I ask I’m new to digital and have only recently changed from a film Nikon F55 to a digital Nikon D80. Once again lovely shot.

  • Steve Liptrot replied

    Just a bit! Its actually a HDR of 3 RAW vexposures blended with Photomatix Pro3 then tweaked in Photoshop Elements 6. I use a tripod for about 85% of my work.
