and here I was thinking that there was no such thing as a good day in melbourne. :lol:
jokes, just jokes.


but just for a comparison, here is a good day in perth.

australia day celebrations taken from one of our northern beaches.
fire works one side, natures fireworks on the other and if you look closely in between the two you can see the comet that has been hanging in our skies lately.

note: this has not been photoshopped.

[Cuong]

[Cuong]

Although it still is a jaw-dropping edit..

[nicholas76]

[bushie]

unfortunately, it is not my photo.

and the comet "was" visable because I was standing about 100m from where this shot was taken.

Might not have been edited with Photoshop the program but its been stitched and merged and has had a lot of post processing done to it. There are at least 2 possibly 3 seperate exposures in that image.

In laymans terms its been "photoshopped" to the max or else its scanned film from a Xpan and if thats the case it was done with a very very hi rez scanner like a Imagecon or something.

[Cuong]

3 exposures to be exact.

sorry guys,
in that case, I stand corrected on the photoshop bit.
in the original email I recieved, it was stated that the photo was geniune and hadn`t been photoshopped although time lapse and a special lens were emlpoyed to capture everything.
but as I said I was there, the comet was there, and that is pretty much how it looked.
regardless, it was an awsome night.
and it is still an awsome photo.

[nicholas76]

I still want a copy of it

does someone have a link to a full size version of it?

[bushie]

see what I can do!
