Thanks, although the exposures weren't very good in the original photo. I've had to up the levels a lot.
As I said though, the final image is what I was hoping for when I first took the photo (if that makes sense).
I'm still having trouble finding the correct settings on the camera to match the environment (small pub gigs where there is crappy lighting) so it's a good job I know my way around photoshop.
p.s, what did you think of the other photos??
I particularly like the close-in B&Ws of the first performer with the black dress and black guitar -- they are very "moody" and give the impression of a much larger, more upscale venue than the color shots. She'll want to use those in her publicity materials...nice work.
First is just messing with multiple shots but different light sources
Second taken at the top of a sort of waterfall feature at night

Cover Shot!
Well, okay, it's not life magazine, but this photo (found on my Flickr site!) will be on the cover of Dulcimer Players News. I know you all have your subscriptions paid up I'll take it where I can get it!

Funny, the duplication of shapes reminds me very much of the earliest Life magazine covers. Awesome.

Congrats!
I'm sad to say I let my D.P.N. subscription lapse.
I kind of lost interest when they changed editors and the name switched from Dulcimer Players Kick Ass! to Dulcimer Player News. (yawn)
Hey...I don't know anything about Dulcimers, but one of the courses appears to have slipped off the bridge.
I like this photo very much. I was at the US WWII cemetery at Omaha Beach in Normandy, France a few weeks ago, and tried to find pictures that conveyed emotion like yours does. It certainly wasn't easy.
What the Mouse Saw

Pentax Optio W10
wide angle, but cropped a lot
I forgot the hotshoe for my gorillapod so I set the camera on a root. I used the time-lapse feature and ran back and forth a few times. I would have perhaps got a better shot but the battery died (short battery life being a weak point of this model). It was just as well that it did die since it was getting dark fast, and was fully night by the time I was down off the mountain.

Fire!
Unfortunately, this was as close as I was allowed to get to the fire, The Cops told me to piss off when I was closer! I was surprised the amount of people who came to watch the fire though, I just wanted to get some photos of the firemen in action.

Went downtown and took this at the hotel I stayed at. I was on the 17th floor I think. This is downtown Jacksonville, Florida

That is a spectacular shot! It has a very eerie feeling to it.
Trust me-- that's as close as you want to get to a fire like that. In San Diego, recently, five firemen were killed when the fire changed directions suddenly. In 2003, the city practically shut down for a week while a fire (actually 3 of them) caused ash to rain from the sky, which turned an eerie orange color at all times of the day. I wish I had some photos; it was the scariest week I can remember. A simple change in winds would have forced us to evacuate.
Long story short, go to your local fire station to see firemen at work. There's a good chance of you dying (well, being BBQ'ed) if you try to take a picture of them while they're actually at-work.
EDIT: Ah, goodie! Pictures (huzzah for Google). Linkety 1 and Linkety 2

It reminds me of sleepy hollow the Horror/comedy movie

Nice to see a shot of my town that I didn't shoot -- welcome to Jax!
I'd never heard of a gorillapod until you started mentioning it. Thing looks interesting. Do you find it sturdy / reliable? I notice they make a stronger "slr-zoom" model.
