Glad you enjoyed though!

The first one is actually a 15 minute exposure of La Jolla, CA. The storm was moving from the south to the north, and the lighning bolts occured almost exactly 5 minutes apart. Pretty cool, huh?
The second one, entitled Moonstruck, is a 3 hour exposure under full moonlight. It's at a place called Julia Pfeiffer Burns State PArk alon the Big Sur Coast in California.
The Rusted Boat, "Return From Sea" was taken on the Mediterranean coast of Israel.
The shot of the Bull Moose is Mt McKinley in Danali, AK
"The COuncil" was taken in Moab, UT
The last one is one of my favorites. It's a six hour night time shot along the shore of Lake Tahoe. Camera Oriented toward the north to create the star trails. Then the shutter is opened, for a second, shorter exposure and a flashlight was used to "paint" the boathouse.
Believe it or not, ALL of these images were made the old fashioned way... Everything you see is as it was done by the camera. There has been no post-production Photoshopping or fancy darkroom techniques performed onthem. I have actually seen the original transparancies from the camera. Pretty cool, huh? ANyway, hope you enjoyed!

Jeff would love to hear you say that!
In the interest of full disclosure, Jeff is a professional fine art landscape photographer.
But he also is a good friend of mine.
I hope it's ok to post a link to his site here. Like I said, he's a friend. I'm not trying to sell anything or anything like that.
If anyone has any questions about any of his images, please feel free to let me know. I know quite a bit about his body of work, and I know Jeff would not mind a bit if I share info for the sake of education. Jeff loves to help where he can!

Enjoy!
Fantastic colors, though. Great gallery. Thanks for sharing.
I actually have that shot in my bedroom. Here's a couple of links to what it looks like from my photobucket.
If you know the location, then you've probably figured out that it was done from the other side of the PCH, up on the side of the hill, not inside the park itself.
Anyway, here it is framed in my house with some good lighting. I'm not the best photographer in the world, so I hope my shots look ok. For reference, our bed is a king. The image is printed in 22 x 68. ('bout 36 x 83 framed):
