Nice colors, and the wide angle really does a job on those clouds.

Bob, That's strange, I deleted the video it was terrible. It looked good on my computer, but after I uploaded it looked like crap.. I took it with the 5DmkII. I'll try again soon.
Nature does indeed abhor a vacuum :-) Life persists amazingly well, even after devastating effects (whether caused by man or nature).
That's a neat concept that would make a great photo project.
I like the photos. In the first one, I think the transition from the bright sky to the dark ground is a little abrupt. (almost as if you used a hard-split ND filter instead of a graduated ND filter)
This kinda scene can be blended very easily in Photoshop using layers and masks. Just put the lightest and the darkest shots into one file (two layers), and then feather one on top of the other with a feathered selection of 250 pixels. You can fine-tune the feathering by painting onto the layer mask with the brush tool.
I can explain better with diagrams, but I can't post that here :-) Look on my articles page on my website. Down at the bottom, there's "Manual HDR...". That article shows the simple process of using a feathered selection to blend two exposures. With a little fine-tuning, it works well. http://www.texbrick.com/photo/notes
For scenes like this, I usually use this simple technique as opposed to more complex blending techniques and/or using an HDR program.
Canon 5DmkII, 70-200mm at 125mm, iso100, 1/4 sec at f/11.0, +12 ext tube I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death This image is inspired by the wonderful work of Diane Varner please visit her amazing photography at Daily Walks
Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1.5 sec at f/11.0, +CPL Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. HH The Dalai Lama
Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1/15 sec at f/8.0, +CPL There is a feeling of effortless effort when passion is connected to a process. It is amazing to me that when I am creating images the aches and pains in my body seem to disappear for that time. Photography is my meditations.
