All I can say is, “Wow!”. These photos are extraordinary! I only wish I could take photos like this let alone being able to do some post editing to make them look like this. Great job. Absolutely fascinating.

Quite a sunset: I like them all but especially ‘Early View’.

On my Windows XP system, some of these, especially ‘Trapped’, show distinct posterization in the brighter parts of the sky in Firefox 3.6.4, but not in Chrome or IE8. If I copy and paste that image from FF into a graphics program the posterization is there, but if I save it, then open it in the same program there is no posterization. Does this indicate that Firefox is struggling to render it properly ? Haven’t noticed it before.

Hope you can now get out and about for more photography.

I’ve noticed horrible posterization on Firefox for years. Firefox is sufficiently good in other areas that I put up with it, but yeah, it’s pretty bad. —Jeffrey

Wonderful pictures, great sunset!

I guess you’re using Lr3 The noise level is impressively low for being 8k ISO

Actually, I forgot to pay attention to that… by default there’s some color noise reduction, but no luminance. Maybe I should give that some attention and push a new copy…. —Jeffrey

Love the photos! How is the weather in Japan now? Any family outings picture? Love those! please take more when you go around. I love Japan and miss it very much. It makes me feel like i am really there/touring around japan when i see you photos!thanks!

Been sort of busy of late, so no family outings since last month’s visit to KidZania, but I’ve got plenty of fodder from that outing and many more in my queue to impose on the world —Jeffrey

Some gorgeous silhouetting and great performance at such a high ISO!
