I've been meaning to do something like this for a while now. This old abandoned building is in Launceston, Tasmania. A photographer friend of mine affectionately calls it "the bunker". So imagine my surprise when this rocket appeared! ;)

Texture made with care and revised in every detail.
This creation is complete with normal map to give the boat details a 3d effect.
Just a simple mouse movement and your new boat will be ready to sail in the Linden seas. ⛵⛵⛵

This board rider looked as though he was launching on to rocks but he had seen a wave coming that I couldn't see.
With the FFF+ at Torquay Surf Beach.
I usually try to avoid centering the subject of a photo, but I think it works on this one of Ripley taken at lunch today. : ) No way to avoid her at this speed, but I got lots of snowy, happy kisses once I was lying in the snow.

One of the great egrets at Audubon Park taking flight to find another stick for the nest! Ardea alba.
Captured in: Callicoon, NY.
Pictured here is the launch and subsequent explosion of a fireworks rocket & shell during a fireworks show. The image was captured during an annual July 4th event held in upstate NY.
My brother-in-law was part of the pyrotechnics team that was running the show, so we were fortunate to get an up-close and personal view of the launch area.
I found this one while recently looking back through the archives. ;) Not sure why I never got around to posting it, especially as I happened to really like the shot.

"Night Launch" is a non-HDR image that was processed in ACR and Photoshop. Processing also includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins: Adjust, Clarity, Clean, Denoise, Glow and Detail.
The launching flurry of an Australian Pied Currawong (Strepera graculina) does little to distract attention from the intense golden yellow eye. Image captured in the Bunya Mountains Queensland.

Ospreys always seem highly motivated for the Christmas Bird Count on Armand Bayou. This one was ready to go right at sunrise.
This church (on the fortress island of Suomenlinna, near Helsinki) was originally Russian Orthodox, but at a later point it was converted to Lutherian and its onion domes were knocked down, leaving it looking a little bit odd. It reminded me of a rocket on a launch pad.

A portion of the wintering population of Sandhill Cranes at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. I love the running crane with the bit of splash.
The modern elevator in the Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock in Prague. With it's modern architecture it is a strong contrast to the building. In the picture the elevator is moving.
This picture was shot without a tripod, just with the IBIS of my Canon R6, I was impressed.
