Photo of the Month: January 2006

First let's recap the rules that we started out with in August:

• Each member can post one photo in this thread each month.
• The photo needs to be taken in the month covered in the thread title.
• The photo cannot be larger than 800x600.
• Please include the camera you took the picture with and the date of the picture in the description.
• This thread is about sharing your photo not discussing technique, opinions of what is art, or to make disparaging comments on someone's picture. If you would like to discuss those things, please start a new thread.

Because of the fires out east of DFW we had this amazing haze for a day or so. Although everything smelled like smoke it made for some really cool lighting. This pic has not been altered in PS except a little bit of level adjustments.

Very cool looking. Sharp image too.

The wildlife thinks its spring time with our current temps. Hopefully they realize it is not and head back south before it turns nasty again. This will be mine for the month, taken yesterday there were about 6-8 Eastern Bluebirds in my backyard staking out nesting boxes. These two were fighting for territory.

Actually that is a star the RAW processing in Aperture seems to be a little harsh to overexposed light (hence the dark ring around it). Good catch though.
