<description>My first official painting using a Wacom tablet (Intuos 2). All in all, I think it took around 16-20 hours, but that could just what it FELT like.    
 
My aim was to create some good sense of depth and scale. I&#039;m so happy how this turned out, I felt it worth to be uploaded here....</description>

<description>Broke the speed limit trying to position myself for this one.   
 
I think the land, cloud, sky elements stack really well vertically. 
 
Taken with a Canon Powershot S80 about 2 minutes before sundown.

<description>Another year has passed since my last Prairie View piece and while the view hasn&#039;t changed much, my equipment has for the better.  
 
This version was taken about a week ago with my Canon GL2, and photostitched with Canon&#039;s stitching program, along with minor PS7 touchups. No...</description>

<description>The first of a few nice close up flower shots I did during a recent weekend excursion to Kootenai Lake. I had a blast using the zoom lense to get in close. I&#039;m a newbie for sure!   
 
Taken with a Minolta 7k and slightly color balanced in Photoshop.</description>

<description>&amp;quot;Later! Yes, when you also have the Keys of Barad-dur itself, I suppose; and the crowns of seven kings, and the rods of the Five Wizards...&amp;quot; 
 
The Blue Wizards were the last two Istari to enter Middle-Earth during the 2nd age. Morinehtar and Romestamo were integral in the war...</description>

<description>Not a lot of light was getting through so it made a really mysterious picture.   This was taken the same day as the Prairie View piece. Winter in my area is very beautiful.

<description>This was an interesting weather event that doesn&#039;t happen often here. Fog from the river spreading up and out about 10 miles in every direction. Thanks to my friend for the heads up or I would&#039;ve missed it.
