It's up to us all to do something about it !

Great concept and well executed! (this is what I think).

Also gives the impression of how small we are in the larger scale of things! Living on a big mass flying around space!

Did you use a tripod Rel :?:

I was wondering how did she get the fire so big, and Chris, I think she shot it with a ladder, atleast my tripod can't get me out of the earth's orbit.

I love it when people make a photograph - that's so different from just taking a picture.

love the concept, love the image and message it portrays!

Thanks everyone - an image I have been thinking about for some time. The clincher was watching Al Gore on Denton the other night - how can a message so clear be ignored by so many?????

How did I do it - mortgaged the house and took a trip into space .......

The earth is a copyright free image from solarviews.com http://www.solarviews.com/cap/earth/earthafr.htm

The flame - I got Damian to light matches in the dark while I took shots of the flame with the Nikon 105 ........ selected the earth and pasted it as a layer where the match head was, and resized it so that it was completely engulfed in flame, got rid of the matchstick, and then lightly burned the earth to make it darker, and then ran an eraser around the edge of the earth at 26% opacity.....

Easy, but in my mind, effective

Glad you guys liked it.

Hugs

Wow!! as a side note, that picture of the Earth was the last taken by the last Apollo mission, December the 11th, 1972 and is the most reproduced photograph in the world..
