Hi Mike. Alexis and I thank you for the great comment and your support on our collaboration, "Introducing Miss Orchid." That was a fun one to do! ;) Also, I appreciate you taking notice of "Their Star." I have no idea if there are any other complete stars in there other than the main off-center one. Who's got time? ha Thank you!!

Thanks Mike for viewing and commenting on my image. Air Show 2 was taken using a polorizing filter on a clear fall day at close to a 90 degree angle to the sun. The deep dark blue sky was the result. I'm glad that you like it. It's also cold flying in this type of aircraft.

Hi mike, thanks for taking the time to comment on all the photos i have done. The lemur was taken in Monkey World in dorset and sadly not in its natural habitat. The animals there are very tame cos they're so used to silly tourists with cameras. The fushias were in my garden and the white line is a gap in the bushes between our house and next door. I think you're right about it tho....if i had moved to the right it would have been too dark...ah well you cant have everything. Last but not least...that silly fly got in the way!!!! Thanks again....always appreciate your kind and constructive comments :)

Mike, Thanks for your kind words about my Navajo Counrty. Sunset on the Mittens. Your observation about the horizion being tilted is partly true. This image was captured by my 4x5 view camera. Some dsitortion from some swings and tilts has caused a bit of distortion along with the natural slope of the canyon walls. My wife Annie and I were standing about 600 feet above the canyon floor' The drop is so steep that it just rushes out onto the plain. I almost straightened this image out brfore posting but remembered that some members used to live around there so I didn't do it. Maybe I should have as you are the third to bring this to my attemtion.

New Life was a second attempt of capturing this image. I tried to capture the natural light on these seeds but the wind was blowing and I got alot of blurring so I used a flash on this to stop the subject. A black velvet covered art board was used as a background. Thanks Mike for viewing and commenting on this image.

Mike, I´m very grateful for your very detailed and positive comments lately on "Wooden flower" and "Orchids 6"....always a pleasure to read them and a great help too. The compostion of these two pictures are unusually succesful I think and I´m pleased to hear you find them artistic. That´s of course something I mostly strive to achieve, one way or another. Flower shots are a new experience and not that easy to compose. The light is of great importance too.
Right now I´m a bit bored of winter images and very curious to see what´s hidden under the snow. -- Arne --

A late reply:

Thanks for the insightful and kind comments on some of my work. My subscriptions are out of date (they disappear after some days) so I might have missed one of your recent comments but I'm aware of at least three from 02/14/05. I can say some additional things about "Tomatoes", since you had some question-marks there. The only thing possibly visible in that shot is an evenly white table, the tomatoes and shadows. The rest is shadow-play and reflections. I had no wooden table or plate there and the wall behind the subject is hardly visible in those shadows. I tried a similar setup with the tomatoes in a glass-bowl but that didn't work out at all. I'm glad you liked the highlights on the tomatoes since I put some energy in getting some burnt out areas look ok.

I quite enjoyed your comments on "Pastures by the Creek" and "<ahref="http://www.caedes.net/Zephir.cgi?lib=Caedes::Infopage&image=kjh000-1094422278.jpg">Between the Rock and a Hard Place". I do not voice to myself why I choose to like a particular photo I make all the time. Much of my handeling of my own photos are made on a more or less intuitive basis. Sounds weird maybe since I usually have little problem doing just that once I look at work I'm not the creator of. I have a set of rules I try to apply but I've made them into a way of feeling and not analytical thinking. What is nice with your comments is that you voice much of the reasons I had for liking them and subsequently posting them. ^_^

Cheers,

Pussy Willow was an unplanned shot that turned out nice with the subject being backlit by the late evening sun and the background shadows turning dark with the fill flash. I used a telephoto-macro with a little digital zoom to fill the frame. I used an ISO 50 at F11 and let the camera pick the shutter speed. Thanks Mike for viewing and commenting on this image.

Hi Accipiter, one more thing regarding Pemaquid Point. If you guys can get there on a sunny day at high tide when it's windy and the swells are high, you'll get spectacular waves thundering against the rocks and rocketing spray high into the air. Really breathtaking, but the conditions have to be right. You might be able to find a website that will tell you the coastal conditions (wave height, tide changes, and wind speed, etc.), since lots of Mainers base their activities around that info. cheers, Quiet

Thanks for all of the nice comments about The old Mill image. It is next to impossible to get to where this image was created due to washed out roads and rock slides. In many ways this is good, however the sad part is it is very difficult getting there to get a photograph. You have seen this building from anthing from fine art to an ad for butter. This is one of those photographs that you are required to have if you are a photographer in Colorado. This building is located near Marble Colorado. It was a saw mill at one time. That is about all that is known about it since all history of that old ghost town has been lost with time.The river that it sits above is the Crystal river,

the reason i thought that dune ripples was oversharpened was the top left slope of the dune where it meets the sky, there is a bit of a 'halo' around that edge, also the intense grain in the sand made it look very sharpened, it may be that the settings you had in the conversion without knowing it did a fair bit of sharpening already???

Mike;
If you ever get near to Page Arizona you owe it to youeself to do some photo work in the slot canyon. Even a walk through it without a camera is enough memories for a lifetime.

You have viewed about half of myposts. I am flattered.this one, Colorado National Monument. Is a must se when ou return to God's country. This trip will take you through some of the most beautiful country that I 70 travels through. I cannot go into details as this is not the place. Sufice it to say that Monument Valley is on the western end of the state. Although I do use a Hasselblad as one of my primay cameras, This image was phoographed using a 4x5 view camera.

If you are going to be a professional photographer in Colorado, and plan on selling your work, you MUST have a standard photo of Maroon Bells and one of theOld Mill. I have them both.

My Goodness Mike!
you sure have been busy looking through my Gallery. Thank you for taking the time to do that, and also having time to leave comments about each of the images listed below. At first I attempted to answer each one but I am now far behind in my replies to others that I have lumped the rest of them together. Carnation Ice Cream, Old Mine Pulley, Spring Runoff!! .. . Almost, Garden of the Gods, Garden of the Gods #2, Garden of the Gods #4, Morning Light and Watercress and Carl and Old Tree. To answer a question that you had about Carl and old Tree. That was not taken on infrared film. It was taken on film and not a digital capture. The reason is very clear. I photographed the tree through a deep green filter, thereby lightening the green of the trees. I have found that digital cameras are not filter friendly except for ND and infrared filters. For your information, if you are interested, Ilford 4X5 HP5 film (ISO 400). Deep green filter, filter factor 8 (3 stops).
Thanks for asking.Film still lives!!

Hello Mike, I sure did some work with Bouyancy Rules. What I did, who knows;-0 I took the shot at 640mm near dusk and got some blur happening so I had to play in PS. By adjusting the contrast, I think most of the blur cleared up? I do miss the robins egg color of the water that the original had though;-) Thank you for the comment!

Mike,
Thank you very much for stopping by and smelling the wild flowers in my , Springtime in the Rockies image. I really love the area around Crested Butte. Should you ever get to Colorado this is a must visit area. Someday when I find the time I will break out some mountain lakes images that I have above this beautiful little village.
I will be at my cabin in the San Juans foe about a weekk. I hope that the wilfdlowers are abundant down there this year.

Good Morning Mike,
Please forgive my late reply to your comment about my, Grand Canyon in Fog and Snow. This is our second trip so I am really behind in answering our PM's. I will get to them ASAP. Annie and I just returned from a 15 day ( which was supposed to last only ten days) photo trip. It was so beautiful that we just couldn't leave. How about taking a vacation and joining both of us where the temperature every morning was, 32F and warmed to 68F by mid afternoon. It is a hard life but someone has to do it. <smile>

Hey there Mike,
Glad you liked the second shot in my Houses of Parliament series. I am dissapointed it hasn't received much attention though, as I thought it was a far better shot than the first one that I uploaded. Oh well, ya win some ya lose some. I will post another photo tonight called London Sunset, and I have a feeling it will get a little bit more attention than the previous two. Ok, back to work for me, thanks again.

Thanks for the super-detailed comment on "Chintzy", I really appreciate it.

Also, thanks for noting the background. To achieve this, I make it a negative and then give it a diffuse glow with very intense definition. After I turn it back around, all the nearly-black is all-black, with no room for grain or distractions.

Thank you very much for your very supportive critigue of Finality of the Shogun. I spent ages on the range of Shogun, it has all been work in progress for a couple of months from an origional sketch transfered to basic paint. It's only untill I got CS2 on trial that I could really start to play. I wanted this pice to look as if it had been painted or sketched not glossy and smooth like computer would of generated. Thanks for viewing it large as there is alot of detail added.

Hey Mike ... thank you for your kind comments on my posting CityScapes 1. I agree that shots on architecture don't garner the same interest on the site. Even taking/posting them was an unusual step for me but the shot was just crying out to me.

Location: Calgary Alberta, Canada.

Thanks again.
