Good to see you too!!!

I've been overwelmed with work.....and being a "camp councelor" for family that has decided to take their summer vacations at my house......so as Carl would say, I've been totally "buggered"!!!

LOL..... I'm not tellin'.....but there are some details that give the source away.....care to take a stab at what they are???

Craig, yeah, I really like the first one I was thinking that these could also be taken further with some of the planet filters as well.....like putting them in nebulas in place of clouds, etc......and ones with just stars and novas.....like in the hubble telescope pics.....which I love to look at..... .....

Well, these are becoming big sellers at various sites.....so you could get some serious "quatloos" (Star Trek ) for them.....

Hey Red It looks like you have become a filter madman.....got alot of nice works going on.....

and #2.

and #4

these come from several different variations of the same filter. i've got about 12 of them. so, this wasnt just something i popped out due to your recent thread

ah, now see, there's one of the reasons i didnt take those filters farther. i just couldnt get the larger stars like that image you just posted.

In refenrence to your challenge, the original sunset is a photo, no FF; How do I know you ask. 1, it isn't a square and most images posted by forum members from FF are squares. 2, it has wheat at the bottom of it, to realistic looking wheat.

Well, that's a stretch for rationale, but true.....

Ding!!! Ding!!! Ding!!! We have a winner!!! Tell him what he's won, Johny!!!

Good eye, Red!!! I was wondering if anyone would catch that.....because at first glance, it looks like noise.....

Moral of the story.....trying to put out some new ideas.....and this can definitely be done in FF.....without the wheat that is......

I should have done that to make it harder.....

How about this one?

Getting better.

it was the light flares i was having trouble with, steve.

and no, havent been on google earth in quite a while. sounds cool. but, i do go onto the nasa site fairly often to ogle the gorgeous space pics. i've even got that 90 meg one done by hubble of the farthest reaches of space ever filmed. absolutely amazing stuff. and of course, the nebulae are incredible!

but, getting back to earth... the clouds pics are simply more versions of the original storm clouds filters and the nebula ones do somewhat borrow from the storm clouds, but not entirely. i had to come up with a decent star generator that would do various sizes, but the nebula 'clouds' are taken somewhat from the storm clouds.

and as for the sunsets or the making of sunsets, i think i see a way to do a filter like that that would be more realistic and more defined. keep reminding me; i'm working on a couple different things right now, one of which is how to make video tutorials. so nag me once in a while
