Up early on Christmas Eve while we were camping on the river in Augusta, I went on a walk up to a private jetty and snuck around the gate with my tripod and camera gear - lucky not to slip in, and took a couple of photos before the sun came up over the other side of the river.
Photoshopped of course, blended a desaturated layer to get the b/w, and used levels and curve layers to get the desired results.
I have framed this photo and put it up on my lounge room wall, looks amazing!

DIY Vertical Softbox
An evolution of the shoebox DIY strobe softbox which I posted below, I had the box from my new Plasma TV hanging around the house so desided to carve it up and make a long softbox.
Same construction as the shoebox softbox, with al-foil on the interior of the box with a piece of white material stapled and taped to the box. (click on photo to see construction)
I've taken it out on location and had good success with the lighting, but wind factor can hamper if you don't have an assistant.
