Awesome pix bro... =)

Thanx! . . . Glad I could contribute to such an excellent site!!

I made some photos of flowers in the spring. I am going to upload them soon to make you competition: -)))

Splendid!! . . . with your photographic talent, I'm afraid I wouldn't be very much competition.

Don't be too humble, your photos are very personal and show evidence of a true talent

Sup Man,
hello How are you e-mail me sometime boggsa1@hotmail.com

Bye Anna

Ivan is russian name isnt it?

Ivan is Russian in fact . . . I am a Tom Clancy fan (partial name inspiration) but I finally set this name in stone after playing Red Alert 2 (Crazy Ivan was a terrorist working for the Red Army that would blow up random buildings)

russians are all crazy terrorists, i know being one mysel

hehe . . . I am fascinated with foreign culture and would like to travel to Moscow someday to see the beautiful architechture...

better go to St.Petersburg for the great architecture, it?s like northern Venice, all city in Ampere (neo baroque if know architecture), but actually i wouldnt suggest you to go to Russia at all ? its too criminal and too dangerous, you know mafia and all that, some say that we?re like the usa in the thirties, god damn anarchy...

CrayIvan: you should put your picture 'Flowing Water' in the contest gallery, I think...

Ok . . . thanx for the suggestion. I think I will. Could it be moved, or should i resubmit it?

I move it

Thank you - - or should I say "merci" ;-)

Good pics Crazylvan this shows how much beauty surrounds us each and everyday. Keep it up.

Awsome pictures!

Do you do any 3-D stuff?

I do some from time to time - Bryce, Terragen, etc. - but I prefer to stick to photography

You're right on. I was going to take the UV filter with me that day but had a brain fart. I tried to fix the levels in PS but to no avail. That's why I ended up with the watercolor effect B&W image of the wagon in the contest.

Hi David! Thanks so much for your comment on "Annabel Lee" I'm so glad you enjoyed it :D

Hi David, Beautiful, Beautiful, and Beautiful!!!! Sincerely, Marilyn

Hello David! Nice to hear you again. Glad you like my 'Year 1960'. I'm in love with these old bottles..., but I prefer the full ones ;-)

hey what's up!? How come you havnt uploaded anything in a while? =)

Nice to see your comment on Chia, David. Thank you for your time:-)

Nice picture...is it Aragorn?

My second son is was given the name Ivan. Actually chose it himself. As my wife and I were driving up the 101 heading home to Ventura Ca., we were thinking of names, as any young couple does when expecting. Saying the names outloud, each time Ivan was said, he would kick. And not just on that day. Any time we would start naming names, he started kicking. I wasn't too keen on the name, but...you know children. He definately is an Ivan. Plays a mean guitar, drums and likes to cook. Turns 18 in a few days, so Happy Birthday to my son.

I like your picture, Another Dogwood, it's very nice!

Hi David ! B.J. and I thank you for viewing and commenting "Painted For A Pow-Wow - Collaboration".

Hello David, many thanks for your comments about “Stained Falls” and “Triple Treat”. I especially like that lovely ten :-)

Riley

Hey, Thanks for the great comment on Namárie!

Hey David,
Thanks for checkin' out "Sunset Door" I wish it was clearer as well. It's a scan taken from a pic taken 30 years ago so...............John

hey David
thanks for your enthusiastic response to FULL MOON IN CASSIOPEIA [RESHOT] it made the effort for the shots worth it just for your reaction

i posted some info about how the shots were taken and post processed on the thread with the pic, hope they are helpful

once again thanks for taking the time to review my pic COWSHED BY NIGHT

re your question ... there was a bit of experimentation with manual exposures but easy to check after using the lcd display on the back of the cam

i think i will try a version without the powerlines
but when i was posting this i thought about them and thought they worked well at that angle with the tyre tracks and line of the shadow of the fence to create an off picture vanishing point of sorts

also with this new cam im attempting to _practice_ as little photo manipulation as possible

i know i _can_ remove them héhé but i want to work with exactly what was there ;)

adjusting contrast, sharpening and exposure with some burning or blockout on other photos are a different matter

glad you enjoyed it :)

Thanks for comment on Charles bridge pic. I took your advice and converted to B&W and you're right it does emphasize the mood, works well in sepia tones as well.
I am very impressed with the work in your gallery & any advice I can gain in the future will always be well received.

Thanks David for the comments on' Autumn Pond".I went with the darker lighting on that.

Thanks for the comment on "water in motion" I'm glad you liked it. :)

Hey David, thanks for your advice on A Slice of Heaven(Rework), much appreciated.

Your welcome and I'm not particularly fond of large cats, just tigers.

thanks for your comment on madnesswirls:) the object itself is not as interesting it was a giant plastic jellyfish:)

Hey David, I've uploaded a new pic, and I wanted your opinion on it!!... :D :D

Good Day, Ron. :D

Hehe! Thanks David for the Holga explanation... Didn't know that. Curious to see your images. Can you PM me when you'll upload? Thanks again :-)

Thank you for telling me how to get the image in focus. I really appreciate it!

I like your signature, "The sky isn't the limit... the ground is". It's so true! I've never thought of it like that b4. But when I did..... WOW! So true!

Great gallery, I hope you won't mind if I add you.
