I use this technique to darken the whole photo and afterwards to bring back highlights in several areas of the picture to achieve a nice contrast that leads the observer's eye to the wanted points.

CSI Miami is a famous TV show. Besides the great plot I will always remember this special optical touch. All images seemed to be softened and soaked in turquois, yellow and orange. This series of pics are all sunsets shot by me on different locations with exactly the same touch of colors - so I call this gallery "CSI Miami".

Route 66 — the mother road. It is not just a place but a feeling of freedom and of past days. Only some of the images were actually taken on the Historic Route 66 in California, though all other pictures breathe this spirit.
