8/3/09 Hot Pic: "Betty Blue," by Brandon L. Cyr, Dallas, Texas

Brandon writes: "I took this shot at an old antique store in Northern Texas with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel. This antique car was beautifully highlighted in all the right places by a late afternoon sun. I like to focus on the smaller, more intimate details of everyday scenes, and that's why I don't show the whole car. A headlight isn't usually something people stop to take a look at, but here, it became the focus of the shot."

8/17/09 Hot Pic: "Air and Water," by Lyndon Johnson, Chicago

Lyndon writes: "I first stitched the panorama using Paint Shop Pro, and then I integrated the other shot using layers in blend mode. Actually, I did that twice--it's the same aircraft, added twice in separate layers."
