    I like it! Of course, I'm partial to Batman style shots, where the camera always angled 45 degrees when the villains showed up. :D

    My camera doesn't show focal length, and this is a digital blend, so exposure info won't be very helpful.

    I used the digital blending from Luminous Landscape. Then Zero-Zero figured out he might have made a mistake.

    I used it on the sign - it's impossible for a digicam to properly expose both the neon sign, and also the interior of the restaurant. So I made exposures for the people, and also for the sign. Then blended the dark sign onto the light interior. Also some other stuff to fix the wicked white balance... but that's quick work.

    Here's the link to our thread, with Z-Z's correct directions.

    You gotta have your paintbrush colors as black and white. If you use the black paintbrush, you reveal the darker image. And If you use the white paintbrush, you reveal the light image.

    Here's the link on Luminous Landscape.

    Mine may not be an award winning photo, but I'm proud that both the sign and the interior of the restaurant look as crisp and as correct as they do.

    I think it's a good example of the technique.

    Thanks for reminding me about the pointer!

    Maglev Station - Shanghai
    This is the station for the Maglev train, the fastest train in the world. I rode it today and, wow, what an experience. It was going 430 kph.

    Cletus, I really like that first one. I was leafing through a book the other day about shooting after dark... and your second image matches what the book had. Nice job, sir.

    So, I went over to the Southern Museum of Flight to take a picture of the SR71 and all of a sudden there were these flying saucers. I immediately thought of circles.
