Pictures Taken By you...

Nice Kitty

Beach feet is a great idea Doc - and all three pictures are making me homesick for Greece!

I had a lot of trouble with the Moon and clouds that night too Gilliatt - glad you got in before me - good shot (can you tell I'm jealous?)

I like the mountain Greta - it looks really high - the sunlight adds a lot to it, like you're above the clouds (are you?)


Because it's miserable weather here I could take a photo with flat lighting right inside the orange tree

This customer I found in raw concrete form and painted him

It was really high. The view from the edge, especially, was fantastic. I don't think it was above the clouds, but I was.

Very nice, especially the orange tree with the clarity maintained through full depth of field range.

Greta,
I found your composition excellent.....whether by accident or not (which often makes for the best shots!) Everyone was just in the right spot.

What mountain were you atop of?

Mystry.....your oranges made me thirst....but your painted concrete form and the light you shot it in is awesome! Very creative.

Well said Greta!

Thanks Gilliatt - I wasn't sure whether to hold an orange in front of the fuzzy foreground leaf, because it was just as fuzzy but more obvious (I was already holding branches out of the way with both legs and free arm, elbow and neck)

Thanks Kitty - it took a while to get that lighting, but two afternoons to paint all the scales :)

Both of my orchids are blooming!

Good one Kitty!

Mystry ~ luv the sun light's glow and the ones with a reflection...you caught it just right! Are those birch trees?

Ahhhh... Z-dog and i would be in heaven if there. Him making a mess of things and me straighten it all back up!

Mystry, Interesting photos and effects. Love that first one best...looks like a fine arts painting - simply beautiful!

Thanks Kitty - not birch trees, but fast growing gums. The island was built there and made difficult to reach to encourage wildfowl breeding (in fact the lake was built too - apparently ten years ago it was a vast dusty eyesore when someone with vision decided it could be made into a pleasant nature walk - pretty cool what humans can achieve when they bother, huh?). And breed! There's geese, there's strange preternaturally blue birds like little storks with bright red beaks and legs, there's seagulls, there's ducks, there's pelicans, there's magpies and all sorts, and they get along without a hint of racial tension (apart from the ducks of course, who are all completely daffy)

In the trees there's possums and koalas and things with really big eyes I've only ever seen at night - but they definitely aren't possums...



Thanks Janine. Yes, it does have that effect doesn't it? There's so many scenic shots in there like that (I've got thousands and they're all different).

Too cool, Mystyr!

Do you have any photos of the blue birds? I would like to see those!

Sure thing Kitty

I like the brightness of the colors in your photos, MystyrMystyry.

Great shots! And you didn't even have to travel far from home!
