http://marknicholas.smugmug.com/The Beautiful Heavens/ This site is a combination of my own photography and a few family photo albums. I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II (my astro photography camera is a Canon 20Da). My primary lenses are all Canon. My travel kit includes tele-extenders, flashes and various other cool accessories. My astro kit uses a Losmandy GM-11 mount, SBIG STV guider and scopes. My editing programs are Adobe Photoshop CS4 and ImagesPlus 3.0, as well as Adobe Lightroom 2, and the two plugins I use the most are Nik Multimedia and PhotoFrame4. http://www.smugmug.com/img/feed-icon.png Mon, 26 Sep 2005 11:42:09 -0700 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:17:49 -0800 http://www.smugmug.com/ Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
