The first IR shot in the TOPE 1 gallery... This was shot with a fish-eye? I like it. It's indeed a bit a pity that the details on the left side of your face are somewhat burnt out, but on the missiles it works great, as they seem to have a "nasty glow" on them, making them look particularly mean.

Looks quite surreal, Gary. With you and the rockets seeming to all lean to one side, and a quizzical expression on your face. The tilted horizontal adds nicely to the effect of direction to the right-hand side. Very effective.

Eerily effecive. (And for once I won't complain about the horizon not being level.) Well done.

Funny, I was thinking, "that kinda looks like white sands".
