Welcome to Caedes Robert! Just to let you know that you're right about messages. It's better to leave a message to someone on their User Information page (or you can send a personal message if needed), for example to thank them for comments or suggestions on your work. If you leave it under their comment on your work, they won't see it. Again, looking forward to seeing lots more fantastic images!

Hi RObert. Thanks for dropping in to visit me and Waters' End. The shot was the result of a wonderful day-trip with my delightful wife who encourages my photography.

hey...thanks for your great review of "the beauty of sao. miguel" i really enjoyed wut u sayed lol...thanks once again

Hello Robert. I visited your website, but I didn't find any links. What's happened?
Note: I really like your gallery! :-)

Thanks Robert for the input on "Horseshoe Falls".Yes, I thought the curves and reflections on the falls gave it just enough.I appreciate your comments.

Robert, thanks for the comments on "Mt. Evans Vista". I really apreciate it!

Thank you Robert for the nice comments on 1620.I used a digital there and with the cold 15 degrees the colors come out a little different for some reason.There was some livestalk there and they had plowed which made it diffucult to get a decent composition.

Hey Bob,

I had occassion to travel through your website. This is a major extension to the awesome gallery you're forming on Caedes. I must say I was in awe of the photo's and your method of capturing places that I dream to visit. Thanks for providing the link! Simply awesome.


Rob

Hey Bob- I'm also a big fan of Ireland. In fact, when my friends and I went there for a short tune we all asked ourselves why we didn't study abroad there :-P. There's really not that much to see in Reading besides the ruins of Reading Abbey. However, if you do go pretty much anywhere in southern England by rail you'll probably end up at the Reading train station, which has a huge interchange for some reason. I would definitely recommend going to Brighton next time you go to England- it's absolutely beautiful and parts of the pier at this city (it's right on the coast) is falling into the sea so it won't be there for long. Ok-I've rambled enough :) But it's nice to see another anglophile on here! hee hee :)

Bob, thank you for very gracious comments on "Inspired," the picture of the little chapel in rural Oregon. When I first saw it I wondered how many fried chicken/potato salad Sunday Socials had taken place on the lawn, weddings witnessed, and final thoughts conveyed in rememberance. Your comments mean a great deal to me. You, Rob, and some of the others here have set the standard most of us strive to achieve. I look at your galleries to see how you handle things, and for ideas and inspiration. So thank you for your work, as well as for your support. Steve

Glad you liked "Charles Bridge"
Thanks for your kind comment

Hey there!! Thanks for stopping by and looking at "Still Going With The Flow" - it has been such a sucess - and your words are very motivating and generous! Thank-you again, cheers!

Hi Bob..I alyways appreciate your comments.I had hoped that when I veiwed the images that one or two of the wee folk would appear but none showed up that day.

Thanks for the nice comment Robert on-Valentine's gift-.Much appreciated.

Thanks Robert for the nice comments on my Polaroid Land photo. I'm glad that you like this image. The images we make could long out live our cameras.
Russ

Hi Robert. I'm most grateful for your high praises on "Introducing Miss Poppy." I was hoping the framing would be okay and I'm relieved to hear your words.

Thanks Robert for your comment on Edge. I very much appreciate it. (kudos too on your website...it looks good.)

Hello nicce page wow you gota lot of comments well
anyways tag me back =) *ciao* ¶☻~*Michelle¶☻~*

Hi Bob, thanks again for your support for
"Charles Bridge". I appreciate it.

Hey Bob .. thanks for your comment on my posting The way there. It is a departure from my usual works but then again .. what are my usual works if not departures! Thanks for your encouragements.


Rob

Hey Bob .. thanks for your comments on my posting Shhh. It is a simple image with a simple story. I rarther like photo's that hold the eye and make the viewer wonder. Glad you enjoyed it.

Rob

Bob ... thanks for your compliments on my photo How do you ever get ahead?. As to your question " Is the guy with the post nasel drip feeling better? It really wasn't post nasal drip causing the flood ..actually a rather nasty neck wound from the guy above him. *wink*

Rob

Hey Robert, thanks for the nice critique on "Embrace". It is a part of a park;-)

Thanks for your comments on my posting Fall Wetlands Base. I'm always greatful for your feedback Bob.

Rob

Thanks Bob, for the very nice compliment on the Bridge at Newport. You might remember it from the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Jack Nicholson and his band of escapees set sail beneath it, and thereby spawned Oregon's movie location popularity. To be honest, I spent the night in Lincoln City and got up very early to make it to Newport. I'd seen a number of sunset photos of this bridge, but noticed a park on the map, slightly seaward, to the Northwest. Knowing the sun would rise from the Southeast, I took a chance the bridge would be visible from the park, the sunrise would have some color, etc. The picture was taken with my back-up camera, a two megapixel point-and-shoot. I make myself use it too because it keeps me aware that a pretty picture has much more to do with the subject than the photographer or camera. I posted this shot for that reason, although it was my second favorite. Steve

Thanks Robert for the comment you left me on "Supporting Your Habit". Happy you found it to your liking;-)

Hi Bob .Thamk you for the comments on "Charles River"Then sun was off and on and it was snowing somewhat so it was not an easy shot.Your comments Have merrit with me.
.

Thank you Bob for the nice comment on "Steady as she Flows". I'm just learning the workings of the new camera and its manual capabilities:-)

Thanks Bob .. for your compliment on my photo Falls in Bracebridge 1. I will forever think of you whenever I'm shooting a white scene. One of these days I'll post a snowy field that I'll recolor pink...just for your response. ;) Thank you sincerely for your kind remarks and for your help in improving my photography.

Rob

Well thank you very Much Robert
i really appreciate your comment hope to talk to you soon

Bob, I really appreciate your comments on the 2nd posting of the little chapel. I tried really hard to use the rules of 3's like you've been telling me, but there just wasn't room. On one side, I got the ugly parking lot, and on the other, dark, dark, trees. And since I wanted the picture because so many people asked me too see a side view, I thought I should bring it in as tight as possible. I'm really pleased at the positive comments - it made the second trip out there on an icy road all worthwhile. Steve

Bob, thank you so much for the really nice compliment you left on the Gnat Creek photo. I did my best to incorporate those things you've been saying, like putting the upper little water fall at 1/3 from the left, 1/3 from the top. You're so right about the effect. So my friend, much of the credit goes to you! Thank you very much. Steve

Hello Robert, tks so much for your visit to What Lurks in the Darkness. It was nice to hear from you. I am flattered that you took such an interest in it. I will send you a pm to tell you how I did it. You know it is so much simpler to preset the background than it is to remove and change it, lol.
JuneBug

Hey Bob,

Thank you for your comments and the attention to detail in your response to my postings Bracebridge 8 and Falls in Bracebridge 1. You have a keen eye and do a great job of spotting my occassional care and frequent flaws and guide me through them all with grace. Thank you.


Rob

Bob! ...thank you for your suggestions on my original posting entitled Bracebridge 6. The new version Bracebridge 6 • rework • I believe is a stronger image with your suggestions followed. Thank you!


Rob

Thanks for your comment on Pending Danger Bob. It was an odd shot and one that some would quickly identify the subject of. Technically it was curious given the relatively few colours, the need for detail, reflectance and ...well.. you know... snow. It must be white. ;)

Rob

*tosses a nice WHITE snowball at you*

Thanks for your feedback on my photo Mason's Stream Bob. I appreciate the time you took to explain the subtleties of this image. It's clear you have a keen eye.

Rob

Nope, can't win with all the colors; there's too much of a personal preference when it comes to them. Grey's just not my color, that's all, except in black-and-white photography. Not my style when it comes to backgrounds. :>

Thank you, Bob, for the flattering comments on " Which Way to Flow." In a recent exchange, you mentioned I seemed to have previous film experience. Actually, no! I started here 'cold turkey' three months ago. So to be receiving such recognition is very meaningful. Many people have offered help and pointers, but none more so than you. I appreciate it more than you know. Thank you, Bob. Steve

Hi Bob.Thank you for the kind words on "Sandscape".I appreciate your comments.I liked the lighting that day at the ocean and only got one decent landscape so I took some macros and got lucky with that one..Rob

Thank you for your flattering comments. I truly do enjoy encouraging artists to contuniue to be true to themselves. I only wish I had had someone to give me the words of encouragement I needed, to do things the way I wanted, when I was young. Instead I was told beading was not an art. Maybe I would be a famous jewelry designer today if someone had taken the time to encourage me. I do love beauty and will continue to comment when I see it. Thank you for your confidence in me.

Hey Bob .. thank you for your response to my posting Roadside 3. Your review is appreciated and I'm glad you enjoyed it. There are more in the series in my gallery.

Hi, Robert! I thank you for the comment on the wet green orchid. I have some more to come...

Bob, thank you for your kinds words concerning my posting New Hampshire Calm Base. I was pleased, and humbled to see it reach Top Images. I'm very happy that you enjoyed it. I appreciate your steadfast support and corrections where (often) warranted.

Rob

Thank you Bob for the comments on "Longview".I am never sure about these low angle shots i have been trying.For a good composition etc.Now I know .Much appreciated.

Thank you Robert for the nice comment on -Walking lane in winter-.Very much appreciated.

Rob, thanks for the pat on the back with your kind words and your helpfull critique on "Beachcomber". Glad you gave me an extra push;-)

Hey Bob .. thank you for your compliments (ok .. and your sick joke) on my posting 80k . More coming!

Rob

thanks for your comment on "Life in the Kitchen" good shots just seem to happen some times when you least expect it, the star of the show is the onion (casting by God)

*tosses a white snowball at you* Thanks for your comments on my posting Arrest me 2. I will forever associate white snow in my photo, with kindness, to you.

Rob

Agree about posting my own images, Bob. But I think these Mont Blanc pics are wonderful and the author didn't want to post himself... Thanks for him.

Hello Robert, what a nice review on my Rollin' On The River image!
Thank you so much. I am glad you liked it, it is always fun to play around and create.
JuneBug

Thank you for all the nice messages you have left on my profile... im a big fan of your work, so keep it up! :)
Sarah

Just wanted to drop in and say how much I love your art. Also I wanted to thank you for the kind thoughts you wrote for my profile. The thought was much appreciated! I look forward to viewing more of your work.
~*browneyes*~

Thanks for noticing my Tutu. (My icon.)

Thanks Bob, for your kind comments on my postings Good Fences Make Good Neighbours and Good Fences Make Good Neighbours -2. If Montana is the place to go for unique fencing ... then I'll put it on my list.

Kindly,


Rob

Hello Robert, tks so much for your comments on High Falls!
I am glad you liked my genius framing, lol.
JuneBug

Hi Robert, thank you so much for your comments on "A Northern Creek"! I am afraid it is going to take some refinement, maybe twenty yrs of practice! Ha! You know, that old confort zone we all tallk so much about! Thanks for your vote of confidence! Sincerely, Marilyn

Thanks Robert for your kind comments on Sunset 5, much appreciated.... :-)

Hi Robert! Thanks for the comment and request on "Spring around the Bend". Any suggestion for removing the tree at the top? Would a crop from the above be a bad decision or would a clone be better to rid the image from the tree?

Darryl - I would NOT crop the image. If you do I feel that the canopy and to much of the overhanging tree would be lost. I do not know what you are using as a program. If it is photoshop 7.0 or higher (CS) I think that he Healing Brush would be an excellent choice,. I use that for almost everything fom old restoratons to getting rid of Boo-Boos on new images, If you have an older version then I wold suggest you do a cloe. I know that there are many different approaches to fixing things with thses marvelous tools that we now have. I have a feeling that you will receive suggestiond about all of them. Please PM me so I know that this found you.
foobob

Thanks Bob for your kind remarks on my posting Chain on Stone 1. I couldn't be more pleased at the thought of you enjoying it. The effect you describe is as I hoped to achieve. I tried many different ways of presenting this picture but, in the end, was pleased with how this turned out. Your agreement is of more value than any Index.

Hi Robert, thanks for keeping score! Also for liking "On Thin Ice"! You are a good sport. I appreciate it a lot. With your encouragement I can advance my career! Ha! Sincerely, Marilyn

Hi Robert, thank you very much for your comment on "A New Snow"!! I appreciate it very much. Sincerely, Marilyn

Robert, thanks for explaining why the horizon looked a bit tilted to me at first on your "Navajo Country.." shot. With that in mind, I gave it a 10. It's a really great picture.

thanks,
vlad

Hi Robert, thanks so much for liking "River Beauty"! As for commenting on my improvement, pretty risky business! Don't be too frightened yet, I will give you a break when competition time arrives! Ha!! Sincerely, Marilyn

Robert, thanks again for the comment on "Life Begin Again". The exposure did need some help;-)

Hey Bob ... thanks for visiting and commenting on my picture Transition of shapes and sounds. Moving water always makes an interesting subject for me.

Thanks so much for commenting on My First Fractal. Your approval means lot to me. Look for more from me in a PM

Thank you. You were the first to comment. This one was fun. I am learning more all the time. I appreciate your interest.

Hi Bob.. thankyou very much for your lovely comment on Spring for Arne.. im very glad you liked it... and i will definately accept your compliment.. :D as for fractals.. i never even heard of them until last year.. and believe me.. sometimes I have no idea how they work either.... lol... seriously thanks again for the comment.. im honored that you liked it.. :D

Hi Bob and thanks for the comments on "Winters March".I sort of cheated on that one but I kind of liked the outcome and I m glad that you did.

Agree. Wonderful sky !!! (and wonderful shot, of course...) ;-)

Thanks again. These are so much fun to do. Better than playing a game. I am hoping to get a camera soon so I can take some pictures to submit
.

Bob ... thank you for your kind remarks on my posting titled Planes, It was an experiment..but not one that can trick the eyes of a seasoned photographer. Well done.

thanks for your vote Bob, your patience on this site is commendable...

Bob, thanks for the comment on "Jackson Falls 2" I'm glad you liked it!

Where have I been, you ask? I have been deconstructing signification. :-P In other words, I've been in class, reading/writing for class, or trying to parse through pages and pages of literary theory. This has been a crazy semester so I haven't had time to break out the camera. These pictures (and like two more I might post) are all from the three days I went home on spring break for my dad's birthday. In fact, I am off to read an 800 page Pyncheon novel right now. Wish me luck! :)

Thank you so much for your comments on Pinwheel. I had to find just the right spot and just the right color. These things are fascinating to make, almost like making a peice of jewelry. I am so glad you liked it.

Thank you so much for your kind words about Many Moons. Your input is always welcome.

Thanks so much for your comment in Oh No!! I Dropped My Easter Egg. So very glad you liked it. Your input is always welcome.

Thanks so much for commenting on Something Completely Different. I am so glad you like it. I took your advice, thanks so much.

Robert, Thank You...

Thank you so much for your kindness. I am going to tell you the same thing I told Rob. This is the first camera I have had in 30 years. This is the first photo I took with it. The beadwork is mine. It is a necklace and bracelet set I mad last year. Yhere are earrings that go with it ut theydidn;t fit on the layout. I took the photo on my work table using the lighting I use fot the beading. It is essentially two 60 wat bulbs in task lights with many tiny mirrors attached to the wall beside the table to reflect the light. There must be good lighting to do the beading. I thought it would be a good place to take the photo.

Hey there, Robert!!
Thanks for commenting on remember when? "First Love"...I agree with everything you said and I would have improved the image if I could, but I'm limited to the use of "Paint" only, so that's the best I could do :)...I really appreciate your advice though, so thanks again,

I see it! You are right, I should have remembered. I think I will leave the No Name Yet up for now. I am so glad you like it. Thanks for your comments, much appreciated.

Hello Robert, lol. I did not say that I thought you were "Older than Dirt", lol.
Sorry you lost your marbles, lol. Yes, I did play jacks also, and I was quite good. How unfair that girls played both and boys only one eh? Tks for sharing your memories with us.
JuneBug

Bob- thanks for the comment on "Remember when? - Lazy afternoons" I was actually just mulling over posting that photo till I saw the comment you left on the project description, so the dedication was more because you got me off my butt :)

I'm glad that I could inspire your memories of young orphan girls. Hee hee :-P

Hi Robert! Thanks so much for your great comments on "Remember when: The love died" I very much appreciate it, especially since I'm not exactly the photographer type.

Thank you Bob for the comments you left on "Blue Hill Farm".Whenever I see that you left a comment it reassures me that I did something right.B.J. gets all the credit for the frame.

Thank you for your kind words on Dreams in Blue and Brown. I think Mom is having as much fun with these fractals as I am. She loves to watch,and especailly loves to give them their names. There will be more photos soon, just have to get off this computer for a while.

Hey Bob,

Thank you for your recollection triggered by my posting Remember when - One calloused knee. It's a fine example of the power that rests in a simple picture in the minds of so many. It is a great pleasure to participate in such warm memories. Thanks for sharing.

The project "Remember when" has delivered so many thoughtful comments from so many people. I know that you have enjoyed them in your postings as well. I'm so glad for your involvement on both sides of the equation.

Rob

Remember when --Things cost less was my first contribution to the Remember When assignment. This ended up being fun and I am glad for your participation Bob.

Rob

Thanks Bob, I´m glad you liked The Rappe Story ! (Remeber when..your shop looked like this) Yep, seemes like we are the old-timers here..but the wonderful thing is, it is not important on this site ! Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for looking at Lady Violet. She is purple and her dress is a pale lavender although it looks more pink in the photo. I don't have very good lighitng yet and the incandescent bulbs tended to wash the colors.

Thank you, my friend, for your very kind words on Rainbow Starburst. I will keep practicing. It is like a new game, I can't seem to get enough.

Good morning Robert
Am finding the Aspen series very interesting. Do not recall seeing a tree anything like that here in Australia. The colours are invigorating. And I notice in "Mix Lake and Aspens" that you were using a Hasselblad <drooling heavily> - it was a dream when I was taking photographs 30 or more years ago to own one of these. Think I still have that dream; but I like my digital too <grinning>
Enjoy your day
Romane

Hay House 2 is a manipulation and shot at this angle because of the grounds keeper working on both sides. It was an overcast day with the sun behind the house. When I adjusted the exposure for the shadow side, the sky got washed out. I took a photo of the sky about an hour later and merged the two images. Thanks Robert for viewing and commenting on this image.

Bb can't scare me, no matter how hard he tries. I know how to take my lumps. I am enjoying the still lives till the pretties outside start blooming. Thank you so much for your wonderful support. Shades of Brown was a fun picture to do. I will keep trying no matter what. Yes, the new camera is working just fine.
