    As soon as I read the title to this thread, and saw who posted it, could picture the image in my head. Or at least the image that I wanted to see. That image was of a cactus with the star trails. Thanks for not dissapointing me Rick!

    Ugh, you're making me feel predictable!

    Well, at least I didn't disappoint

    The only thing predictable about your work is that it's always worth looking at.

    Thanks Jared. I'm trying to show people what's possible with a little bit of imagination. Of course, in this case that means going out and shooting in the dark

    Re: Night Cactus

    Oh, I've been around. I just don't always post. Sometimes I have nothing to say.
    I just upgraded at home, though, so I'll be around a little more. For awhile I was relying on an internet cafe. But I'm all OSX'ed now... as well as something else that's just too shocking for this forum to handle. Hehehehehhehe.....
    The last week I've also been pretty busy working + doing some freelance for a company at the car show. It's a LOT of fun. A lot of work, but a lot of fun....

    It's because you're so unpredictable that makes you predictable. ;)

    This is a beautiful image, Rick.
