Not burned at all. 1 part water 2 parts 91% rubbing alchohol. The alchohol burns but the water keeps the bill from actually getting burnt. Notice, though, that I only did it with a $1... better safe than sorry
Got a tip for us?

Good, because if you had burned that money, you could of ended up serving time

Yes-- I had linked to it in the post where I showed one of my images with this technique. It's fun and it's easy! Here's another....
I think using a polarizing filter to get rid of the reflections in the window could have helped here. Just some friendly crit.
Thanks I just saw the link..
The last one is great
BTW does anyone use skitch?

not a particularly great one, but i couldn't show you the gate and not show you the temple!
Sounds OK to me. Sometimes you don't want people to say "Great picture!"... you maybe want them to say "Great place!"... Go somewhere interesting, photograph it in a 'revealing' light: job done.
You bast**ds. You put me in the bath, so I smell like a Turkish bordello. And then you want to take my picture...
Impressive photos, but remember that post-processing can help you a lot in your photos.
The second picture could have been better with a slower shutter speed.
Thanks, I kinda shot and ran. Was surprised that the wave shot was such a high shutter speed considering the light. Was expecting more of that flowing water over the stream rocks effect. I could have played with contrast and other things, but this was more of a documentary than art shot.
From what I understand, the system splits up the original image, kind of like a jigsaw puzzle, but it at some point has to have a central core. One thing I do instead of doing the cropping as the final step is to crop at the 4th step; I find it a little easier to then work with the image. I am not the one who created the tutorial; someone on Nikon Cafe told us about it and so I tried it....only to immediately get hooked!
Love the colors in yours!
Nice series, but aren't they kind of backwards?
Edit: Oops... they're fine. Not sure what my eyes were seeing
Haha, half of the time I wonder if they're actually talking to each other over the phone.
Taken this evening (technically yesterday) in Waterloo, Iowa, US and A. I greatly appreciate any and all (constructive) criticism.

Looks like an interesting (and photogenic) bridge. I have just one suggestion, for this and other night shots where the sky is black. Try shooting when there's still some light in the sky; that's after sunset, but before the sky gets too dark. Tripod... of course.
You'd have another colour to play with, to contrast with the streetlights and lights inside the bridge. More 'ambient light' will also help with the lights... and stop them being rendered as burnt-out highlights. Your shot is OK... but, if you pick the right moment, it could be really magical...
Castle Howard, Yorkshire: one of the self-styled 'Treasure Houses of England'. That is: a vast, pretentious palace built with money 'earned' by grinding the faces of the peasants into the dirt, and then burning their hovels down, so they wouldn't spoil the view... tourists love it...
