Hello Garrett, Thanks for your comment on "New Road Pillars". Those pillars probably have a road on top by now, because that picture was taken in January of this year. (2008)

Thanks, Garrett, for your comment on my Embrace.

You're right and you caught me at it!!! I was there for many shots with my steady stick...the light was right..wonderful autumnal sunshine, and then it struck and I had my burst on and voila! It happened.

:)PJ

Hello Garrett, I was fortunate enough to get a pit pass for this event. Before and after each race they take the boats out of the water. That dock is quite long and enough room for many boats. Check my other posts on this event.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

p.s. Looked at your website---Very Interesting!

Hey Garrett nice to meet you and thanks for the great comment you left on 'Itchy'. It was the way the feathers are separated that drew me to that shot. Thanks again.

Thank you for your comment on "Dragon Flight"
always nice to have your comment and is sincerely appreciated.

I'd be very happy to have only one boat. I don't need them all. But.... This is very beautiful place and not only for vacation. I could be there much longer then for a holiday.

Garrett,

Thank you for your suggestions regarding my image "Desert Flower"; I'd definitely have gotten closer to the subject flowers if I had a bit shorter of a lens. As far as the orientation of the image, I personally try to always use a horizontal format so that the image can be better used as a desktop. Again, thanks for your input!

Dennis

Thanks for adding me as friend. Hope I hear from you often. Don't hesitate to be helpfully critical.

Hello Garrett...Many thanks for viewing (GOLDEN DAFFODILS)and for your comments,they are very much appreciated....Cornwall is renowned for growing these beautiful flowers which are sent all over the world....Thankyou again Garrett....All the best to you....Mick.

Hi Garrett
Thank you for your nice comment you left at "Ghost Castle". They are very much appreciated

Hello Garrett,
thanks for writing a comment on the eyes behind the mask.
I directed the whole shoot and had a team of 5 girls to help me.
I did not apply the paint myself, since we have a girl for each specific job on makeup, hair, paint, etc.
But the paint goes much furhter than just the face. The whole shoot took about 5 hours.
The reactions of people is very different (naturally), but I like the change of photography and to put it on Caedes.
Personally I like this very much, also because it takes the challenge a few steps further. I have to work with a team and as we practice we help each other with school projects and portfolios. So it is kind of a win win situations.
And from one shoot comes another and another...
And so I get into contact with more and more people and challenges.
Thanks!
Paul

I had already used Neat Image and yes I have it. If you only knew how far away I took this shot, handholding a Canon 100-400 and then I had to crop it and crop it and crop it. Neat Image did all it could. Thks for stopping by.

Thanks Garrett for commenting on my picture “Fan Tail” This picture was extremely back lit and under exposed and I was going to delete but decided to give it a shot in Photo Shop and liked the results.
Bob

Thanks Garrett
For taking time to visit and commenting on "Scattered"I appreciate it... I guess I read to many Stephen King Books:)

Yes, this was an HDR image and I don't know what made the branches look 3D. Weird. Thks for commenting.

Hi Garrett,
Thank you for taking the time to comment on "Wolf" I appreciate it:)

The information i have suggests he is a north american red squirrel. http://nature.ca/notebooks/English/redsquir.htm

hi. thank you for your comments and advice. do you think i should crop out the portion on the right with the siding? because i might just do that and upload it. again, thanks for looking. :)

Thanks for the comment on "Lift off" I am exiceted to be able to capture photos of the big birds instead of the same old songbirds. I saw the first Egret today in Missouri so I hope to be posting some of those soon. Enjoy your trip.

Thank you very much Garrett for your kind words on "Return of the Green Heron". It meant a lot to me coming from you and your supurb gallery of animals and birds. Thank you so much once again.

Thank you Garrett for the nice comment on my "Killdeer" photo. The Egrets I was looking for have almost disapeared from the area so I had to settle on a small bird. Glad you liked the eye ring.

Thanks so much for taking a look at 'Beans, Beans' and thanks for your helpfull advice.. I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks for opening my eyes know i have to learn to see.

Thanks for stopping by 'Pleasant Dreams'. I'm so happy that you liked it. Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks so much for your comments on my fox pics.I'll keep trying to get better simply from viewing your great posts.

Thanks for the comment Garret. I appreciate that you took the time to look at my work and comment on it. Thanks.

Thanks for the comment on "Leaving". It's true that it's best to get pictures of the face of animal, but sometime, getting a photo of an animal leaving can be just as good.

Thanks for the nice comment Garrett on my "Tree Swallow" photo. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you Garrett for your comment on Storks! Have a good day.. Mich

Thanks so much for your nice comments on 'Hey, Do You Wanna be Buddies?'. It's very much appreciated. Have a wonderful Friday.

Thanks for your nice comments on 'Kaleidoscope #2'.

Thanks for your nice comments on 'Kaleidoscope #3'. And I am having a blast. More to come... I can't help myself LOL!

Thanks for the critique on "Nature's Reward". This one turned out the best out of the shots I took. I thought the exposure almost created a look of frost.

Thanks for your nice comments on 'Dogwood Blossoms'.

Thanks so much for your nice comments on 'Lil' Blue #2'

Thank you for your nice comments on 'Lil' Blue #3'.

Thank you Garrett for the comment on "Unknown bird" I found out it is a Chukar, from the Pheasant family. They release them in wildlife areas for hunters to kill them, how nice. I am glad the ones I saw survied for now. Ed and you identified the bird for me.

Thanks for your nice comments on 'Pink and Green Foofies'.

Thanks so much for your nice comments on 'Creeping Shadows'.

Hi Garret, Thanks for taking a look at Flower Power

Thanks Garrett for commenting on my "Butterfly on the road" photo. I finaly got one today of the same type of Butterfly sipping some nectar from an orange flower, I will post it tonight.

Garrett,

Sorry it has taken me a while to respond to your question. I don't get a chance to log on very often with 15 month old twins.

To answer your question on my "Female Rubythroat and Zinnias" -
Stopping the wing motion is all done with flash and can be done with the garden variety Vivitar 283 flashes (you'll need a minimum of two, but more is always better) these are available on Ebay for about $50 and an additional $20 for the Varipower module available from B&H photo (or if you are mechanically inclined you can use a 100-kW variable resistor available at Radio Shack) This particular photo was taken with 1 Canon 550EX, 1 Canon 430EX and 2 Vivitar 283's all dialed back to 1/32nd power, a Canon 20D and Canon's 100-400mm IS lens at 200mm. The setup for the birds is about 15 feet from the camera and the flashes are about 18-20 inches from the food source. ISO 200, f11 @ 1/250th of a second. The most important thing is not having ANY other direct light sources or you will get "ghosting" on the fast moving wings from the residual light sources. I have hundreds of hummer pics, so you'll be seeing more in the future (as time permits).

HH

Garrett,

Thanks for your comments on Double Delight, I appreciate the feedback.

Looks like I may have missed a unique opportunity this weekend, my in-laws called me very excited as it appears as though a male Rufous Hummingbird has taken up residence at their feeders in central Missouri. They're not usually found this far east. I'd have loved to add something other than Rubythroat to my image library, but it just wasn't in the cards for this weekend.

Thanks again,
HH

Thanks Garrett for comments on 'Refreshed'

Thanks Garrett for the nice comment on "The Great Escape" Make sure you check out the rework of this photo by, Piner, LynEve, ppigeon and twinkle. It is amazing how much they all improved the photo of the Hawk in flight.

thanks for the comment on "Barong Mask"

Thank you Garrett for the nice comment on my "Dancing Egrets" photo. I think they will be heading south soon, need to find new subjects to photograph.

yes i agree that fires are hypnotizing! fun to stare at! especially when you add some color to them! thanks for the comment!
