Hi Michelle - I thankyou for your interest in "Mosaic fish panel 1" - there are 2/3 others in my gallery related to it. If you are interested there are a heap of great sites about mosaic making. One in particular is fun http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/mosaic/index.htm where you can design your own in advance. Have fun! PM me if you have any problems or questions!

Hi Michelle :) Thanks so much for your kind comments on "Caedes Carnage" I really appreciate it and am so glad to know you enjoyed it! Thanks also for your suggestions on future works...it keeps me inspired to create!

Thanks, Michelle, for the comments on "Different Outlooks." You made me laugh out loud! I appreciate the kindness and the humor. :) Steve

And also for the Elk photo. I can't believe they didn't do their usual 90 mph disappearing trick! The photo was just a tad blurred - my hands were shaking with the adrenaline! But it was too cool not to post! Steve

thanks for ur comments on "7 cidades", "the beauty of sao. miguel" , and "hidden waterfall"...and btw...it is a great place to visit...and i highly recomend you go there...but make sure you have a local guide or somthing because only they know where to go :^D

So glad you stopped by - thanks for leaving the nice comments in my gallery. Hope you have a great day down there in Phoenix. I bet you it's prettier and warmer than here, where we are stuck in an inversion - fog and only 10 degrees - brrrr.

Hi Michelle...thanks so much for taking a moment to view A New Day...I' m very glad you enjoyed the verse and the image is to your liking...much appreciated.:Pat.

Hi Michelle.. thanks for your comment on Fractal Milky Way... Im very glad you liked it... it is a fav of mine..

Thanks, Michelle, for the comments on the photo of the Longview Bridge. Things never are as anticipated! :) The smoke stacks are just steam, used extensively at the ship yards. The bridges around here run from 50 to more than 100 feet above the water! When I first moved here from Arizona, scared me half to death! Woah! That's ten stories high! But one gets used to it. Anyway, thanks for getting ME started!!! Steve

~Let The Sun Shine Down On Me~
Hello Michelle, tks so much. Yes actually they moved in when we moved out. It was a fallen candle and the young girl just made it out in time through the thick smoke and fire, I am glad she is ok. Thank you for your well wishes.

Thanks, Michelle, for the wonderful compliment on "Fast Water!" I was sorry to hear about Loomy's demotion. I mean, perhaps a downgrade to steelhead, but GOLDFISH? Aw, man!!!

Hi Michelle, you are so kind to use such heartwarming words to express your thoughts on "Iridescence"! Could you smell them? Ha! Thank you Michelle. Sincerely, Marilyn

Thanks, Michelle. I made about 10 different versions of "Lilac Rhythms" (different designs and colors). Maybe I'll pop some of the others up sometime. Appreciate you taking time to comment.

Thanks Michelle for commenting on "Hillside".Macros are a challenge for sure and certainly have their drawbacks as in this case.I appreciate the comments..

Hey Michelle,

Thank you for your comments on my picture Ice Cherries. With a gallery as fine as yours the compliment is an honour indeed. Thank you.


Rob

Hey Michelle,

Thank you too for you comments on my posting Sculpture in Shadows. The elements that you refered to "the reflection of the tree on the right and the stray twigs on the right" were the same points that drew me to the picture. You have a great eye.

Rob

Well, Michelle, here I am back again thanking you for your compliments on my photography. I'm greatful for your comments left on my posting entitled Triptic Trees. You have sharp appreciation for detail that some simply miss.

Thanks again!

Rob

Hi Michelle... thanks for your comment on Something You Dont See Every Day... im glad you enjoyed it.. it was amazing... they are actually in between the wall of the house.. you can hear the buzz and smell of honey inside... I had to balance on a piece of wood.. and hope i didnt disturb them when i took the shot... lol..

Thank you for the nice comment on the photo of the Bridge at Newport. Actually, the other bridge was on the Columbia River, and this one is on the coast. This bridge was first made famous (and caused Oregon to become a desired movie location) when "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was filmed in Newport. Jack Nickolson and his crew of escapees set sail under this bridge in one of the more memorable scenes. Steve

What a lovely comment about my Moon shot...it was one of those things...I saw it, I stopped the car...and I shot the moon!! smile...and it turned out...so this time it wasnt talent but good fortune that I saw that gorgeous object in the sky...thank youi again.!!

Thank you for visiting my Old Homestead. Your input is more than deserved. You have humbled me with your comments.I used to live in AZ. Mesa, for that matter. Just returned to Colorado in 1999. I am happy to hear that you now carry a camera with you at all times. Couldn't you just kick yourself when you think about all of the images that you have missed? Me too!

It's only me again,
I am really behind with my correspondence so I apologize for the delay about your comments for my Horses in the Morning Fog image. I just wanted to let you know that I welcomed your input. Thank you for the nice words..

Thank you, Michelle, for the wonderful comments on the 2nd posting of the little chapel in rural Oregon. I risked life and limb for that shot! Icy roads, and all! But it was fun, and I'm so glad you like it. That makes it all worthwhile! Take care of you, and thanks... Steve

And thank you again for the gracious words on the Gnat Creek photo. I really like that one too Michelle. It just speaks to me - I think I spent most of my formative years in school daydreaming about trout streams like this! Thanks so much for the enthusiasm and support. Steve

About the focus: 2 solutions.
1) To work in manual focusing mode
2) To work in auto-focus, but be sure the focusing was done on the real topic.
If you are working with a SLR, The first method is the best, because the viewfinder is extremly precise.
If you are working with all other than a SLR, you must learn the best method with the autofocus. It depends of your cam. On my Minolta Dimage, I can work with a green area in the center. 1/ I put the real topic in the center 2/ when the focusing si done, I hold the button and correct my position 3/ I take the photo.
This is certainly decribed in your owner manual
If you want to make progress, you must master your AF system, because a bad focusing always ruins your shot :-)

Thanks for commenting on "splosh"
glad you are enjoying the series. :¬)

Michelle,
Thank you for visiting my Livery Stable Lock. I am especially greatful for your feedback about the framing. I thought that I woul try something different so I posted this image in just the basics. No drop shadow or fancty border. You are the first to have any comment on it. Thank you so much. Keep watching for my work. If you see anything that doesn't please you let me know. No hard feelings.I have thick skin :0)

Thank you so very much for your very nice words about my Tmb Butte, Monument Valley image. You have inspired me to approach a few post card companies that I know of, with this image. Who knows maybe they will see some value in it. I'll let you know

Thanks for the comment on "Pampas Grass", I drove by the site every wednesday for 3 weeks and took shots - just to be shure I caught the right moment, I also captured some shot .mov videos inside the grass while the wind was rustling through, it was awesome.

Hi, Michelle, many thanks for commenting on Chambered Nautilus. Very glad you liked it..Mike

Thanks Michelle. I really appreciate the compliment on "Pondside Early." You're right - I do like those early morning shots. It's cold enough I can usually count on the farm dog staying warmly ensconced by the pot-bellied stove instead of eating wayward photographers. I've never enjoyed photographing big, bare teeth... Steve

thanks very much for your comment on angel! i really appreciate it!

Hi Michelle...thank you so much for viewing and commenting on Tarnished...with your artistic eye, I appreciate your suggestions...I do wish I had centered the poem somewhat better...as for font size, I wondered about that but worried that one too small would be difficult for some to read...actually, my own critique of the posting lies in the wording of the poem...I now wish I had expressed the odd sentence a little differently...oh well, guess I won't worry about it too much...tks again.:Pat.

Thanks for your comment on my posting entitled Confusion. It was provided for a smile. Glad you enjoyed it.

Rob

Thanks for the comment on Flight. It isn't actually that difficult to do....I just took the image and used a combination of pinch and radial blur....and voila..instant moving pic!

Thanks Michelle for your comment on "Flight of Imagination." I very much appreciate it. I may post a second version of it down the road.

hi Michelle.. im glad you enjoyed Nature's Corkscrew.. not sure how it grew like that.. its definitely what prompted me to get some pics of it.. ill take some more when it blossoms.. should make some really neat photos then..

Thx again for your feedback Michelle, its much appreciated. We'll try to get "Implosion" on for you. Some paintings are hard to photograph in detail because of the light reflection but we're working on it. Have a great weekend.
