a couple of nice sky shots to open your account with Mike and welcome to the site.

Hi mike. Glad there are more Mikes out there. Thanks for admiring "A Rocky Beginning". That particular image had a shutter speed of one second. My image "A River of Liquid Light " had an exposure of 30 seconds. It all depends on how fast the water is moving and the available light. What I suggest is try different speeds greater then 1/8 of a second and see which image you like best. Every subject is different. I may shoot 7 or 8 images at different speeds myself and then weed out the ones I don't care for. Hope this helps.

Thanks for stopping by to see "3D Rainbow"...Glad ya liked it :-)

Thank you mike for the kind input on my image.

Thanks for the brilliance on "Gathering Light":-) Welcome to Caedes!

It's good to hear from you again Mike and yes I do think I live close to heaven. Within 200 miles in any direction there are forests, deserts and great bodies of water. I can't imagine it being any better than it is.
Thank you for the kind comment on "Natures' Masterpiece".

A Photograph is more than a still image of the real, it is a doorway into the unreal, it allows you to see through the eyes of the photographer, and see how they see the life around them.

Thanks for the comment on "Death Valley: Mountain View." I'm not sure if that is Telescope Peak or not, actually. And that's for the suggestions on new software, I appreciate it :)

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the comments on 'Klickitat River (widescreen)' very much appreciated.
