Hey Ben Thanks for the comment on "Morning Solitude" I could have sworn when I first read the comment you said sunset, then when I looked at it again it said sunrise. Did you edit it or am I lossing my marbles?
Ben, thanks for commenting on "Raindrop caught in action" -- I thought the black and white was a good choice as well :) Sometimes I just decide to force myself into it. Anyway, thanks! I really appreciate it.
Thanks (again) for the comment on "Collecting Pollen" -- It's not in the timing as much as just taking a lot of shots and seeing which ones come out... with digital that's so easy to do. And the composition comes from a good cropping job ;-)
And your 1/40th... OIS! I should have known! Have you heard the news of the new Panasonic DLSR (the DMC-L1) with a _Leica_ standard zoom lens with OIS? Looks to be an amazing camera/lens combo. I'm thinking about getting the lens for my Olympus... seeing your shots it looks like the IS is worth it :-) Thanks again.
Thanks, Ben. I appreciate you dropping by, and your comments.
My late wife grew up in Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire, and roamed your area, frequently.
Loved the work in your gallery.Hope to see more, soon.
Doug.
I was so pleased to discover your nice comment on "Beskid Sadecki mountains". I was happy to hear you found it so appealing. It was taken during my winer holiday in the Polish mountains, which I have to admit gave me a lot of pleasure. Such holidays are so refreshing. Still have many photos to be uploaded. Stay tuned.
Thank you for your comment on my Cycad picture. Was a difficult shot, as the "fruit" is situated in the middle of th plant and my mom had to pull the leaves open for me to get a shot. And to add, it's standing amongst other plants and next to a wall and we had to lean over the wall to get to it. I will though, try again, using your suggestion as guide. Thank you very much.
Hello Ben....Thankyou for taking the time to have a look at (ST MICHAELS) and for your comments...its very much appreciated...Yes you are right about the postie who got stuck in the sands...The unlucky postie was trying to avoid crowds by using the causeway to the island when he nosedived into a ditch.....During high tide the mail is taken to the mount by rowing boat.....All the best....Mick.
hi ben, cottonwoods teepees are so surprising. when you see more photos you'll see why. they just seem to poke up out of the ground. i'm glad you liked the picture. thanks for letting me know! jen
we've just returned from a photo trip. i apologize for all the comments i didn't send regarding both your photos and your comments to my photos. it would take forever. so please forgive me.
please visit my gallery
Hello Ben. Thank you for your approval of “Aerial Surveillance” I must admit I had to try a couple of times before I got decent results. It’s really a matter of perfecting the technique and finding a cooperative dragonfly
Thanks for your comment on my Grindelwald image :)
I just had a look at your gallerie, most impressive.
My favorite is Mist Over Windermere, well well done !
aloha from your often absent compadre! i've been clicking away! hope you're all enjoying your summer. <* href="http://www.caedes.net/Zephir.cgi?lib=Caedes::Gallery&author=jeenie11&page=1">my gallery</*>
Howdy, Ben - thanks for the comment on "enchanted" - I'm glad you enjoyed it. I took a look at your gallery and you have some wonderful shots in there - very, very nice -
Pirates: Ben, thanks for your comment, always appreciated.
I was shooting from a little two seater piston engined helicopter (a Robinson 22). It is quite exhilirating - we take the door off, so there is nothing but the seat belt between me and the water.

If my comment on your work ever seems to criticise, it does not. It is always so that we may learn together.
I saw this done in a life magazine that was in the newspaper back in June. I thought this would be a good effect for the current contest. My Fall State Fair was taken at the Perry, Ga fair at iso 50, F11 and a 6 second exposure. Thanks Ben for the nice comments.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Thanks Ben for your comments and suggestion, have to work on that, always looking for a better image. Thanks again, glad you like The Simple Beauty Of Nature. Best wishes, Dwight.

Thanks for the comments on 'Mountain Lake 2' I really appreciate it. I was tempted to put the log on the left but fought it off for that long reflection on the left....talk about control!

I can't say how much I appreciate you poppin' in to check out “Costa del Sol” sunrise, Ben. Did you know that there are more jet skis per capita than anywhere else in Europe? All year round, tourists enjoy Andalusia fine, sandy beaches and calm Mediterranean waters. I was no exception.

Very glad you enjoyed The Path Less Travelled X. I appreciate your taking the time to comment and would be interested to know what you think of the rest if you have a moment. I really enjoyed making the series and had a lot of fun, but it was hard work too so it is good to know when the results are appreciated. I think I learnt a lot - mostly by accident, but still useful. I'm still struggling to learn how to do this stuff, so all comments and suggestions are very welcome!
And, again, for the kind comments on The Path Less Travelled III. You're probably right about the dominance of blue - I seem unable to get enough of it and that likely shows!
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR THE VERY KIND REMARKS ON TRAJAN''S KIOSK
i LOVE USING THE WIDE ANGLE LENS BECAUSE IT DOES CREATE AN INTERESTING IMAGE. HOWEVER I ALWAYS NEED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS OR IT LOOKS SO STRANGE. I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE ENJOYING IT.
Hey Ben , , thx for the comment on Feathers & head part 1 , glad you liked it . The camera i used was a Canon 20d in combination with a 100-400mm canon lens .
Now then ... your comments on my "Escheresque" flame?
Coming from you ... they carry a lot of weight (I have a number of your works; photos and abstracts on my HD). Most astute observations on your part and your words are greatly appreciated.
I am repeating myself here with these words ... but it sums up my, hmm, experience with that image and they are:
"And yes, it did take some time ... particularly working to get the meshing of the combined layers. Not quite there ... but, as I sometimes say ... to post or not to post and muck about some more ... was decided by a coin toss.
Hello Ben,
How are you doing today?
Thank you oh so much for your comments on Here They Come Again you sound like a man whos knows his photography.
Take care and god bless you'

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
