Yes, it's been a long while since I posted on the site. With the continuing endemic, we are reluctant to travel; several photo vacations remain on hold. So, no travel photos. But, more than enough garden flower photos. Recently, I did a photo shoot of my granddaughters' swim team at a meet. Using my 70-200 lens, a high ISO (8000) and high shutter speed (1000+), I got many swim portraits for the swimmers and their parents to enjoy. They reside in a restricted gallery on my website, so no peeking. A few depicted swimming action without facial recognition, so they are safe to display. On one I did some post-photo work to serve as the lead image for the gallery page. Here it is for you to see. Happy New Year!

Super work and wonderful thing to do for the students and parents. I did something similar with the grandsons basketball teams. Folks really appreciate those little things. Your work is extremely impressive.

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
