Hey Ian, Thanks for the comment on "Throttle Junkies". I really like this shot too, but it hasn't recieved much attention on Caedes. Your comments are much appreciated!!
Hey Ian !
Much thanks for checking 'Comfort eating' out and giving your valued opinions.
It was very surprising to see the ease that the young fella (I beleive it is male, by certain features) clung on while getting his grindage!
Thanks for visiting !
hi Ian.. thanks for the comment on Touch.. i agree about the lightning.. this one was thrown together a little too quickly by me.. tried a couple ways to get that lightning not to look so fake.. finally uploaded for feedback.. but thank you again for the honesty..
thanks for the laugh you left about my photograph of the water feature in Prague. The fountain is outside the Franz Kafka museum in Prague - the artist obviously had a good sense of humour! :)
Hello Ian. Thank you for your comments about Tree Frog”. When these little blokes see you approaching they scuttle round to the other side of their stem, which makes them twice as hard to find :-)
Blue. Thanks Ian. That's really my first attempt at getting a portrait of him. I didn't even have a collar on him, and that was a first. I'm certain he was treated badly as a pup, and emotionally, had no trust at first, but he's progressing very well. Just takes time and patience, and lots of love.
Hi again, Yes, it is the last of the ice. In factm it was gone the next day. That's just a section of drowned land between lakes. The lake ice is muck thicker, and took another week to finally melt to sinking point. I'll send you a pic of a map of our lakes watershed. You won't believe the amount of water, all around us here, till you see it.
Hi Ian! Much appreciation for the kind words you left for 'Take Me To Your Leader', thanks so much and I'm pleased it brought a smile to your face!
Thanks again!
Cindy
thanks for your comments on the old house in Fullerton. The house belongs to the college next door. I think as an alumni of that school and in the education field I could arrange that.
Ian, it's me again. I am glad you liked the white/gray Gothic church. It looks like cement and is rather cold looking but then there are those gorgeous windows!!
Thank you for your kind comment on "Old timer". I'm so glad it looks clear to someone else and it's not just me. (Alot of the pictures I take aren't clear, so I trick myself into thinking they are.) Thank you again, Danita
Sunsets - Thanks Ian. I am fortunate to have picked this place up, in the seventies. It is just a coverted cottage, that was just built on piers, when I got it, It's not very big, but I added a two story addition to one end, and the balcony was an afterthought, during construction. The best part was the full Western exposure.
All the skies all over have been blah due to the fact that every day has looked lke rain any moment. Normally the skies would be clear and blue. We had a very warm and summer like winter so now that it is Spring, we are having weather more like winter.
Thanks for the comments on all of my pictures. It means a lot to hear from other photographers. Im just getting started and need critiques. I am going to start posting in bigger sizes becuase you and some other people want it. Thanks again.
Ian, thanks for stopping by "Exposure". She is not in college yet, so I doubt you would have seen her on campus somewhere. She is a Minnesotan too, and her name is Rachel. Do you know her?
Beaver...Hangup - Really wasn't fully satisfied when I looked at it in the editor. The beaver cut looked much brighter when I shot it, or I'd have flash filled it. Will probably go back and do it again, or maybe later, when the suns behind me.. Used a 10mm lens for that, so great depth of field. Glad you liked it.
On the Old Windmill image, I did not see the fuzzies that Jerry called UFO's until I enlarged the image to full screen. I guess it was the dust from the area as it is by a frwy and a busy street.
Thank you Ian! I appreciate your support and I am so glad you found Pick a Daisy pleasing. I am having a great time creating these images. Thanks again, Carrie ;0)
Re my mishaps - the picture is not half as shaky as I have been trying desperately to click the right button with trembling fingers while my shaky legs wanted to run !!!!!
And the face of my big brave mutt - silly enough to make anybody ROFL !!!!!
I am glad you also liked Sunset on the Rocks. I appreciate it when you take the time to comment positively or constructively on my work as I am a beginner.
Thanks for the kind words about Progress. It was a random shot taken from my car one day and I was super excited it came out so well. I can't wait to get more up on here, I'm just super busy at work right now - playoffs!! :)
Thanks Ian for your comments on "Silhouette" . It was actually taken with a camcorder on a freeze frame, I wish I would have had my Camera at the time, but that's the way it goes. Take Care. BobZee
Thanks for stopping by to see Simba. It is fuzzy a little but then so is he. He likes to sit in the front seat of a sports car and let hte wind blow on his face.
Geyser Basin ... Thank you for visiting. I'm glad you enjoyed this. The dark cloud cover certainly was a big help. I shot it at ISO 400, Ian.Meant to run it through Neat Image, but forgot.
The Mittens --- It is spectacular. Especially after a bit of rain. Then thr red is just breathtaking. Glad you enjoyed this, Ian.
Enjoy yourself, on your trips. They both have great beauty, and you better come back with some of it.
Silken Tears ..... They really were dark and brown, and I thought they were dead, or dying, but my neighbour was watering them. Maybe we're both nuts. Glad you enjoyed it, Ian. I'm going to shoot them again tomorrow at the same time of day. I'll use another camera, and see what happens, and let you know.
The Lilly that Was --- It is a very dark rust/brown colour, and both were shot in full sunlight, a day apart, same time of day. Both had just been watered, so they should be identical.
Therein lies the dilema. The only variable, was the two different cameras, and today's rendition is just what it looked like, both days.
I love a mystery. Glad you liked this,Ian.
Mammoth Hot Springs - Glad you enjoyed this. Don't recall what the black in the sky was, if I ever knew. Probably gas and chemicals from the thousands of geysers and hot springs.You could smell it, at times.

Thanks so much for your comment and good advice on "Sparkles of Hope II" and "through the eyes of another"! I'm very glad to hear that they made you think, just what I was going for! And I must agree that those are the best kind of photos (movies, commercials, stories, etc), the ones that make you think :]
Thank you, Ian, for viewing Welcome Home, and for your kind comment. When the weather is clement sunset-watchers flock to South Haven from far and wide...
Thanks for your comment on 'Torpedo' Ian. He was in pursuit of a female and I had a pretty dramatic half hour watching him landing and taking off around her.

Hi Ian, so glad to hear Country Commuter Traffic gave you a smile! I thought about cloning out the antenna also, but decided against it. Anyway, thank you so much, Carrie
Many thanks for the translation. My Chinese "son", Chu Chun Ling translated this for me once, but I lost the translation. Chun was a foreign exchange student from Shanghai. He now lives in Singapore with his sister and brother-in-law.
I was a little surprised at how much snow was left in the Toledo area yesterday. (Monday) It got in the 40's today, so there isn't much left there now. Thanks for your comments, Ian.
God's magnificent creation is full of beauty waiting to be captured - when you think you've seen it all, something you've never seen comes up and amazes you.

Click here to see WHITBY through the lens of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe! PS I have no commercial link but Sutcliffe's photographs are historical! and any photographer worth his salt should at least know the history of their subject. He is one of the reasons I consider myself lacking, by the way. TG
Thanks Ian for visiting "The River Gang" and for your helpful tip. I've grown up by that river and actually have no idea what the poles are for, how embarrassing! Mum's best guess is they stop the prawn boats getting too close to the bank... might ask my Grandpa for a second opinion:) All the best, Kelcey.
Thanks for the comment on 'Living Dead', it's most appreciated. Everything started off real, if you check the links under the pic you can see the originals.
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Hello Kinglan, thanks for your comment on Tattoo. The shot was initially vertical of course, and much more of the cactus. But its thorny stripes reminded me of the arm tattoos I often see on people. Anyway, thanks again! Quiet
Hey Ian, thanks for your comment on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Nice to hear other people liking it too, 'cause I wasn't quite sure about posting it because of it being an unusual picture here.
Thanx so much for the comment on "On Guard" I appreciate it very much and thanx for the advice too. What should I do with the "soft" of the squirrel ? Make it a little bit darker with filters maybe?
Hey Ian,
Thanks for your nice words on "Ages Around the Corner", they are much appreciated,
I used HDR-technique to expose for this image, which means nine shots between 1/25 sec and 1/1500 sec, so it's not a shutter speed feature, but rather a ghosting one, (could try to remove that, but I liked the effect),(~8 8~)
It could be done by long exposure though, if you're interested, just make sure you're on a tripod,
Glad you liked it,
