That's unreal Japh! Thanks mate!

Some nice virts coming in guys. I sense it's going to be tough judging this month.

Hi Jamie,

I'm using a program called PhotoStudio 5" by "ArcSoft". It came with my computer when it was bought several years ago. It is an ok program, but i need to save up for Adobe Photoshop.

Here are some photos I have taken and then edited with this program! Also my avatar.

I did digital photography at tafe during school for a 5 month period. The lightning photo was submitted for marking. I have an old crap digital SLR, and this old outdated program. We learned on photshop at tafe, which is FAR superior. I really want it.

These photos have not been edited much actually. Its just about the shot. . . . getting it at the right time; when the sun is right, when the bee is. . . . well. . . there! And lightning is BLOODY hard with my cammera, because i dont have the ability to leave the shutter open and wait for the lightning, i just have to take lots of photos and hope i get one decent shot.

Glad you enjoyed them!

Another bump - just a couple of days to go.

I am surprised there are not more entries at this point as we had such a great response to the last one.

Dont forget it is free to enter, and who knows - you might win a prize!

This tree holds much potential for many alternatives - get stuck into it!!

Cheers,
Leigh.

I was really hoping to get an entry in this month, but it's been crazy busy! There's still a little time left... I'll see how I go.
