New Hampshire Calm 4. You provided great feedback on this image Bob. I wish that you were with me when I was positioning the shot for the post! We could have shared my internal dialogue! I was struggling whether to include the raft ... whether to include some shoreline .. to avoid simply centering the sailboat. In the end, I chose what you saw. The missing element, and I agree with the recommendation, would have been to have the sailboat entering the image. *slaps head*

Thank you!


Rob

Thanks for your nice comment on Eventuality.. I am pleased you liked it.. I hope this is just the beginning.. I was given the program as a gift and am throughly enjoying playing with it.. I have some ideas for refining this image.. It takes a lot longer to do one of these than a photo or fractal..

Glad you liked the garnish in the photo New Hampshire Calm 6. It was as it was presented so I took it. ;)


Rob

Hey Rob, thank you for your nice comment on "Peggy's Cove" - much appreciated :o)

Wow, I'm so glad youthought highly of rainbow paint!! Rob will be posting more pictures soon of the same falls and the park around it, so keep a lookout! Hope all is well with you both. Quiet

hi Robert,
Glad you were so pleased with "Sweet Peas2." Thanks. :D

Hello my friend, tks for joining in to wish Ann a lovely birthday!
Have a great weekend.
JuneBug

Thanks for commenting on Farmers Market..I do appreciate it.. I go every Saturday morning while it is open.. The produce is marvelous.. I took lots of pics yeaterday.. The squash is coming in and the first of the pumpkins.. I love fall.. With gas prices the way they are now I have to find what I can around town to photograph..

I'm so glad you liked prickly water pears. You've posted so many wonderful images for to enjoy, it only made sense to dedicate it! How nice that we'll see you both in Sept. Be sure to bring lots of film, eh? cheers, Quiet

Thanks Bob for the nice comments on "Old Town".I dont know alot of history of those houses on that street.Most likely built in the late 1700`s or early 1800`s.Not the very old ones from the 1600`s which are few in number..Rob.

Hey Bob .. glad you liked the posting of Websters falls.. We'll have add this to our list of places to go near the end of the month.

Rob

Hi Bob and Ann,
greeting from gracious NZ !
keep well and happy always
enjoy your good life with passion
cheers !

hey man, thanx for the comment. im new to this caedes thing so it was greatly appreciated. ive been photographing "stuff" for a few years now and its nice to know that im doing ok.

Hello Bob, Many thanks for your generous comments about “The Beacon”. That was one of those occasions when I looked at the exposure the camera wanted to use and said “nah that wont work”, took one it’s way and one my way. My way worked.

It’s me again Bob. Thanks for your comments about “Shadows”. A true photographer eh, gee that sounds good, I’m quite flattered :-)

Hello Bob, thank you for your compliments at “Bimbadeen”. I enter photo competitions constantly. It’s only a matter of time before this one gets it’s turn on the wall :-)

Hey there...I appreciate your helpful words about my Autumn Rose. I tried to soften the backgrund before I posted it. And I am not familiar enough with the words and their use on Photoshop. So any help yu can give me is great. Its good to have you around again Robert. Have missed your photos and comments.

Thanks for your support. I appreciate it greatly.

You are definetely right about c-indexes..they dont mean an awful lot some of the time..but as comments let you know how a picture is doing...and my picture 'bee at work' has none on it after over a week, i would greatly appreciate if you could tell me what you think of it.. I would of made a link but i dont know how to..

Thanks for the comments at Hot Cross Logs. Have fun at the cabin. We still have to close our pool for the winter. That is on the agenda for today. It should have been done a long time ago. It is getting quite cold here.

Thank you for your very supportive comments at Misty Rocks. I had a wonderful vacation at Niagara Falls this summer. I took tons of photos. I saw your Maid of the Mist Photo, and it was fantastic. I wasn't lucky enough to see any rainbows while we were there.

My butterfly trio was taken at the Niagara Falls Butterfly Conservatory. I know that you have been to Niagara Falls, I saw the picture. I thought for sure you would have been here. So, you may still be kicking your butt. It is a wonderful place. I can't wait to go again. I did a whole butterfly series while I was there. Several are still posted here at Caedes. There were 10 in all. I removed some of them. My favorite is Tiger Longwing. It is still here. I would love your reaction to it.

Thanks for viewing my Tiger Longwing. You will LOVE the Niagara Butterfly Conservatory. I went with two other families. Two others of the party are also members here. We moms thought our kids would get bored there. They did not. We could have spent a whole day in there. It is climate controled. We went when it was over 90 outside. So, it was the perfect temperature in there, and the butterflies were everywhere. They land on your clothes and if you stand still will land on your fingers. I have pictures of my husband and daughter with them on them. There were thousands. All the kids were enchanted. You here a lot of look, look, and OHHs and AHHs while there.

I have cropped Bee at work and reposted it on the site .. hopefully you can get around to seeing it.. It seems to me a little stretched but only if a lot of people are bothered by that i will wait till i get home and edit the original photo. its titled Bee at work revised, i think.

Hi Robert, thanks for the total essay you wrote on 'Evening at La Mauricie'. I too have been selected for the comments program so know what its about. I agree that it does seem dark, the light wasnt good as the sun had set behind the trees and the water running off onto the right side of the image is an effect caused by the wind coming from the left of the photo and blowing the ripples that way across the lake. Im flattered that you think i have some talent and did take a course in photography a couple of years ago at school but have obviously let it slip. At the minute i have no time to better myslef in my favorite hobby as im in my last year of university and need to work on my degree but will reflect on everything you have said everytime i put my eye to the lens. (id completly forgotten about the rule of thirds althouth im not sure what else i could have done with this particular view). Anyway, as i said im grateful for your constructive comments. Thanks for taking the time to do that for me :)

thanks a lot for looking at my 'bee at work revised' im glad you like it. = )

Hi Bob, thank you for your comment on my picture. Here is what I wrote at "Launch Control".
Thank you all for your nice and helpful comments..... I really appreciate it.
Yes, it is a tube amplifier for guitars and yes...., the longer I watch this image the more I agree with Bob and Nathan. Thanks you all for watching my pics and helping me to improve.

Thank you so much, for everything.. I am pleased you liked October Rose.. I am learning.. It is good to be back, and hear from all my friends.

Thank you, for your comment on Harvest Moon.. I do appreciate it..

Thanks Robert for the kind post on Vaulting:2 - as an overall image - your probably right about it having the edge on the first one - it was originally a portrait shot and I have a print of it on my wall edited into an infra red/mono version which works quite well also.

Bob, Ghostzilla is a very good shot in the target. LOL. Thanks for stopping by Boooo, I'm glad you liked it. And have a perfect, creepy Halloween. :))

Hey Bob!

Glad you stopped by for the pic of the "new electric plane". We were within about 10 minutes of the locale when we went to Websters. It was a fun happenstance when Quiet and I found the glider club when taking a shortcut on some back roads to Websters from home.

Rob

CityScapes 4

Calgary, Alberta/Canada it is Bob ... great guess. *removes my iterary from your wallet*

Thanks for your kind compliment on the image. You can see that the replacement charger arrived for my Nikon. ;)

Join Me On The Walk 2

Bob, it would have been a PERFECT night to have sat by the side of the sea and enjoyed a Timmy's with you Quiet and Annie. Alas, on this trip I was on my own and was left wanting for the joy of special company.

Thanks for the reply fotobob. your honesty is good. and you're right, i don't really know what i'm talking about when i make a suggestion on improvement because my lack of knowledge on the situation. thats a good point. i'll keep it in mind

oops double post. heh

Hey Bob...thanks for your comments on CityScape 6. I was actually drawn BACK to take this shot on a second day in Vancouver. The first day was dark, dreary and rain. A wonderful walk indeed. Rounding the corner I was presented with this unusually colorful ship resplendent against the gray surrounds. It stuck in my head and I needed to return to capture it with camera. I would have liked to have had a 'little' different angle on it but drat .. I would have needed a rope to get the shot I really wanted. Such is the way at times. Glad you liked the shot and took the time to comment. Always appreciated.

Kind regards,

Rob

Hello Robert, thank you for your comment on "Wild Flowers", much appreciated. I'm glad you liked it and thank you for your advice. Best wishes, Bernd.

Thank you so much for the kind comment on Fall Flowers.. I do appreciate it.. I liked the frame on those flowers.. I worked with that image for three days, before I was satisfied with the size shape and color of the frame.. It just didn't seem finished with out it... I am so glad you have such faith im me..

Thank you, I am so glad you found your flowers.. It was the only way I could thing of thanking you both for being such wonderful friends

Also sent you guys a PM but wanted to say thanks so much for the Timmies image. We really enjoyed it a lot! What a fun creation :-)

Hi, Bob! It's always pleausure to look throught galleries like your. I wish I could say my feelings for each one of them but unfortunetely my english is not very good. But I want to say that you have wonderful works. Keep it up!

Thanks.. Stuffing those Bell Peppers for dinner.. Told you I was digging in the bottom of the barrel..

Bob .. thanks for your comment on my posting "leaf on clear water 2". You know..it was just a lucky shot. Glad you both enjoyed it. Youl would have laughed to have seen the moments before the taking. Quiet says "want me to get a leaf to toss on the water" ..sure I say. "what color?" .. Red. She tosses it... I click the shutter. Done.


Rob

Thanks for the nice comment, at Fall Colors I was thinking about you when I stopped to take the picture. I'm glad you liked it. It is me who is humbled, your pictures are in a class way above mine. I appreciate you even looking at mine.

Hey Bob.

Thanks for your comments and feedback on my two falls shots (Gravity 1 and 2). You know your opinions count volumes for me so it's always great to read them.

Kindly,


Rob

Thanks for the comment on Wind In The Willow.. We were have ing 50 mph winds when I took that pic.. Darn tree just wouldn't hold still.. Gave it a try anyway.. Glad you liked it.. It is very dififcult to get out anywhere anymore.. Have to try with what I find.

Thank you so much.. I am so glad you liked my Lemons.. The produce man wasn't there so I could change things the way I wanted.. Hoping to get more soon.. Your marks always count for me..

Hi! Thanks for your nice comments on 'Green to gold'. I'm glad you liked it.

Hey, What cheer Robert....kindest regards for your comments for my images you are most welcome, anytime.........remarks-comments and criticism I dont mind, because hopefully it should make me better? picture taker!

Best wishes
Bob

No problem :) and I will look at your gallery. I may not comment on all of them but i will look at them.

Hi! Thanks for your comments on 'A touch of red'. I appreciate the suggestion to up the contrast and make the reds pop more.

Thank you so mych for you comment on Finely Tuned.. I am not sure how I make the fractals.. I just do it.. I try to find shaps and colors that work together.. They are really lots of fun and a big challenge.. Discovering how to make teh gems was wonderful.. Not every fractal works with one.. Right now it is hard to get out to do any photography.. I tried at the grocery, but their lighting is so bad, I never seem to be able to correct it.. Right now I am working on the Joker for the Caedes Deck project.. Taking photos of a doll covered with irredescent sparles is a challenge.. One submission already.. I just am not comfortable leaving Mom alone for very long, so anything I do has to be done where she is.. We are supposed to get some snow in a couple of day sso Iam hoping for some pics of that..

Hi Bob! You know, when my husband first viewed that image, he had the same idea of removing that sign. I really appreciate your kind words and thoughtful suggestion. Thanks for the feedback.

Hey thanks for commenting on New Zealand Sunrise. Could you please send me your reworked image? Thanks.

Thanks so much for the comment on Three Rocks.. I do appreciate all the help you have given me.. I couldn't have done it with out you..

Hey Bob .. thanks for your comment on my postings City Scapes 8 and CityScapes 11. I hope you find the shot you took in St.Louis.... I'll look forward to seeing it. You know that such architecture is uncommon here so I find the buildings and the reflections pretty interesting. Glad you enjoyed them.

Rob

Thanks too for your comment on Window Dressing 3. It was a cold Calgary night made fresh with the talents of talented display artists. A few shots through the plate glass windows and I had a few shots for the can. Not my usual fare but it's good to change-up the gallery from time to time.


Rob

Thanks for the comment on Forget Me Not.. Not one of my favorites either, but thought I would give it a try..

Thank you Bob for the great comments you left on "Dalia Bend".Storms and alot of rain have made for a sparse foliage photography season and I was lucky to find this spot.Rob.

Howdy! ;)
Regarding my comments for A Bristlecone Pine Tree in the Clouds,you're more than welcome, Bob! I have seen your gallery and you are sucha talented photographer, it means alot to me that you took the time to welcome me to Caedes.

Beware of Picnic at Hanging Rock-it's weird and slightly spooky... :) Tell me what you think of it after you see it!!

Thank you for your comments on my image "weathered" I greatly appreciate it.

Riley

Hey What cheer to you and Annie, grateful thanks for your kind words about my pictures Robert....You are most welcome to visit, anyime!.....I have just placed another on here called 'Glare' let me know what you and of course Annie think about it!

Cheers for now...Bob

Hi Bob,

Yes, I am at the U of Mo; good old Mizzou. I love it so much that I've changed my major three times. ;) I imagine I'm likely going to end up with an interdisciplinary A&S degree. I've got like 168 hours, and not enough of any one thing for a "real" degree. Minor in anthro, but what can a girl do with that?

I've managed to keep myself from tumbling too far down into the party scene; I'm more into the fine arts than the bar arts. ;D But one can catch me down at the Vu or McNally's on the weekends.

BTW, I really enjoy your work -- you've got some beauties in there, the Bristlecone Pine being just one. The Antelope Canyon pics are very evocative -- I love how you captured (as Emily Dickinson would say) the "certain slant of light".

Namaste!
Jamie

Hey Bob oop's I mean Robert!..Once again , most grateful for your lovely words to 'Glare'
you may be older in years and experience.....but by gum..I feel like 90 these days!!

Best wishes........Bob

lol yes i was never really one for math... but it made sence to me hehehe... any ways thanks for you comment on "Look into my eye"

Thanks for your comments. You should also check out my other pictures

Thank you for your kind comments on my 4UU pictures Bob. Your words are consistently encouraging and kind. Thanks for taking the tour. The scene would have been improved with your presence. I trust, again soon, we'll stand at the side of a picture to share.

Rob

Hey Bob! .. thank you for your kind opinions shared on my Ice On series. Highest compliments from a stellar source.

Rob

Bob! ... you wrote on River 3 "Your images have improved ten fold with your new camera".

So nice of you to say. I has eased some of the frustration of being able to capture the image that I see all too often missed with the previous cam. However, I also apply what I learn from you by example and by word. So much to learn.

Thank you Bob, for your constant support.


Cheers!


Rob

Hello Robert , thx for the comment on f&w1 , it is appreciated .
And i will keep your advise for the next one

Kristof.

>Waiting 2<

Hey Bob .. thanks for your feedback on this image! You wrote "SUPER image! The muted colors of the boat plus the rain make this image".

Nice of you to notice and comment on the details Bob. You have an incredible eye and provide good advise and insights.

Rob

>Waiting<

Thanks for your comments on this image Bob. I appreciate the feedback and the truth that there was much more to discover in this forest walk.


Rob

Hello Bob. I agree with your comments at “Multiplication”. I never considered it to be anything but a beautiful nature event. Thank you for your supportive comments about it. As always it’s great to hear from you.

Waiting 9

You wrote "This image is a true winner! Enter it in any contest and you will take top prize. The pathway with it's stronger light is calling "follow me." and then the mystery of where does it go? All of this surrounded by the lush green of he trees. For a guy that is always busy how do you find these areas? I know that this is getting old but; "Well done!"

Bob .. that's one of the nicest compliments I've ever received on a photo. I'm humbled.

Thank you.


Rob

hmmm ... Forensic Photographer, Retired .. my dad was a deputy Coroner for Alameda County in California, Containing some of the most crime-ridden cities north of Los Angeles (San Francisco Bay Area)

He used to come home and tell us his days work .. at the dinner table .. A fun time was had by all

Hi there Robert....can I say Thanky! Simply! Thanky!!........Bob

Thanks, Bob, for adding me to your friends list! Now, can I borrow some money?

Thanks for commenting on Greenland....Noor

Thanks Bob .. for you kind comments on my posting 9-wire. A simple shot and if taken with other settings would have been another, less interesting and invoking, picture. I'm glad we share the view that it was worth posting.

Thank you kindly my friend,


Rob

Thank you for your comment

Hello Robert...Thanks for your kind comments on "Tall and Majestic".
So you use to be a Forensic Photographer huh! I bet you have all kinds of cool photos you can't show us!! :D

Hi Robert...

Thanks for your explanation.

Have a wonderful day,
soulspin

Thank you for your comments about Fallen. I am a landscape painter and am now learning how to get more out of my photos. In the past I used my photos for oil paintings and to much color would be lost in my interpation. People such as yourselfs have been inspiring to a painter who is only playing with another form of art. I have taken advice and learned and still are learning. Thank you.

Thankyou for your comments on "wanna climb a tree" they were much appreciated!

Amare

Hi there! I was just noticing that you haven't posted any pictures for awhile and I was kinda missing you guys. Anything new coming up????

Hey, thank you for your comment on Monticello! I really appreciate it, especially from an esteemed photographer like yourself =D. Thomas Jefferson really was an amazing man...the trip in which I took that picture taught me so. Once again, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Hey Robert,
Thanks for the positive feedback on my capital hill photo. And for the heads up on the limitations of a processing fix to the overexposed part of the photo. I think you are right, the photo works as it is and doesn't need fixing. It is certainly my favourite of the five I've uploaded here so far.
Peace,
Mikel.

No probs Robert as I enjoy you work and keep the great work coming
Jason

So nice to see you posting again Bob. You were sorely missed.

I see too that you haven't lost your knack for stellar photography nor your love for God's creations. Welcome back.


Rob

No probs Robert as I enjoy you work and keep the great work coming
Jason

I am pleased to look at all your works and I am quite impressed. I see you are no novice to the camera unlike myself. Your information with your pictures is most appreciated and I have enjoyed seeing them as well as reading the comments about them. I'm glad your shooting those lovely and thoughtful compositions.

Woohoo.. nice to see a comment from you on one of my pics, newbie that I am! (at photography anyway). 'La je reste' was a play on words. In French it means "here, i stay/rest" which is one meaning, but when pronounced out loud it also sounds like Lazarus (from the bible). The latter meaning was the first one that hit me when I was inside.. Lazarus' tomb. La je reste. Cheers to you and Annie!! - Quiet

Really great to hear from you again Robert. I'm glad you stopped by to look at Lily Pad Trio. I liked the shimmering water so I thought it might be nice to share with everyone.

Thanks Robert for putting "Look Up" in to your favarites. I have really enjoyed looking at your pictures. They are so great and I believe if I study them I might just get some of you experience to rub off on me.

Hi Bob, you left a note of thanks on my user page and a question on whether I'll be taking more. Yes, is the short answer. When? I don't know - it will just be when it hits me. I'm not versatile like you photogs are! I noticed you added me as a friend tho, so you'll see when. You are already in my friend list as well :-) cheers, Quiet

It's me again :-) The concept of Depth of Feel was Rob's and he also took the first picture. It was me that did the manipulation (getting the image reproduced inside the camera's view finder (there are two of these in the pic). And of course the title was just a play on words, as is my way! Hope you get to see his Wax My Seat series. We visited Port Colborne and managed to catch these motorcross crazies doing their thing. Can't say where they'll be in 10 years from now, but for now those guys are AMAZING. Somewhere their moms are having sleepless nights though thinking of their lil kids throwing themselves in the air like that, eh? Hello to Annie for me (and Rob too). We are well here.. I'm glad to see you posting and writing too.. even if it is challenging. Bye for now, Quiet

Hi Robert...
Thanks you gave me your friend list. It's really honour for me...
...and I took a walk in your gallery. -it was my "morning walking"... :-)
Well you're a true artist... All of your pictures are very high demanding...
Best wishes..!

Hello Robert, thank you so much for enjoying my creation of all the colours and my Haiku poem. It's been a long time having heard from you and it's a huge pleasure to me that you did make a comment! I miss you and your wonderful photography, but I will be visiting your website. I send many warm thoughts to you in that beautiful state of Colorado. Take care my friend. Verena

Robert passed away in March of this year.
