Re: Flowers 2013

Curly stamen on its own looks spooky like a snake. Nice shot and the background bokeh is very pleasing to me.

Re: Flowers 2013

Nice set Andy. I love the last one in the first set. Look forward to your "boring" flower shots. :D

Re: Delicate Arch and the Clouds

I was at Arches National Park and Moab about 25 years ago. Desolate but fantastic place.
Great angle, and I request for a full view, for old times sake. :)

With best regards,

Re: Birds 2013

Am I glad I did not venture to "identify" the birds. :lol: Thank you all for the explanations.
Very edifying to say the least. Great photos and observations on the thread. Enjoying them
all.

Re: Autostakkert

Last weekend I was in San Diego, California and on my way back stopped for gas in the middle of nowhere and the (almost) full moon. 70-400 on A900 with 29 images stacked using Autostakkert. All shots are jpeg and handheld. Sury [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/bigsur/8507682534/][img]http://farm9.s...

That is so hilarious. How did you know that?..... when I knock on her door and have camera in hand, her eyes roll... :)

Love it :!: :!: :!:
Is her right cheek a bit over exposed? Does the skin have less texture or is it

Re: Birds 2013

Today I was at the Natural Bridges State Park and Beach in Santa Cruz, California. This one is with CZ24-70. Straight from the Camera, no PP. Since this is not my forte, any suggestions on enhancing the image (high/low lights, WB, crop etc) is most appreciated and welcomed. I was thrilled that I cou...

Re: Model shoot

1,4 and 6 are my favorites. In the B&W, I felt the gent's left hand was too stiff and that made

shot.

Re: 24 Hours in Mrytle Beach, S.C.

Great "shots" of Whiskey (no pun intended :lol: ) JB. That Minolta is one heavy lens but very reliable. The third one in the second set is my favorite outdoor shot. These fine libations are to be sipped and savored as Yildiz rightly pointed out.For me, snow is optional. :lol: With best reg...
