Hello Phil, many thanks for the very kind comment on "Stony shore", greatly appreciated. The sun was shining and I took the photo at noon. That is why the shadows are very dark. I tried to make them a little lighter but there was not much detail, so I thought it best leaving it as it is.
Hi Phil, thanks for your comment on Peak District 10! Its funny how everyone has said it looks gloomy and dramatic. All i see when i look at this is beauty and light! Must be the rose tinted glasses of the geography teacher!!!!!
Thankyou also for your comment on 'A girls best friend'. Shoes make women happy and surely that cant be a bad thing! an easier life all round for the men ;)

Hope you had a wonderful birthday yesterday, July 17, 2012. So here's my little late Happy Belated Birthday Wish Hope you had lots of fun and laughter.
I appreciate the comment and the fave of "Heavenly Flyer". Thanks Phil. I was just so glad to get out and find something worthy enough to take a picture of. Walking is an issue for me at this moment in time.
Thanks very much for the comment on 'fedora mind shield' and the fav for 'buzz humm fzzt' Hope to do some more....yeah the script is meant to make it all a bit more fun.
Thanks Phil for taking time to comment on my picture Hummer Female 2. This one was shot through my front window as it came up to the feeder that is off camera. I pre focused the camera lens (Canon 100-400L) to the distance of the feeder and shot a burst of pictures every time the bird would come to the feeder hoping to get one in focus. I lucked out and got this one. The green background is actually the grass in my front yard.
Thanks Phil for the comments on my picture Floating Kermit The ponds here in Iowa are starting to thaw and signs of life should return so let the pictures begin.
Thanks Phil for the comments on my picture "Ring Tailed Chickadee" My camera setup for the bird blind was a 300mm lens with a 2x converter a bit much for such a big critter. Don't know what is with the icon thing.
Thanks Phil for commenting on my picture "Ducky Down" I used the Canon 100-400mm zoom lens with a Canon 1.4x converter mounted on a Canon 5D III for this picture. Sorry about the Gamma, I'm not much of a Photo Shop guy.
Thanks Phil for commenting on my picture "Two Tone Dragon" Sneaking up on these skittish little guys using a 100mm macro wasn't working for me. My camera setup for insects, frogs, and other pond stuff is the use of long focal length lenses, typically 400-600mm.
Thanks Phil for the comments on my picture "Bird Blind Blues" I believe this bird to be an Indigo Bunting. The setup I used on this dreary day was a Canon 300mm 2.8 lens with a Canon 2.0x III extender giving me a very heavy 600mm setup that I attached to a monopod. Do to the lack of sunlight that day I set the Canon 5D III in aperture priority at an F-stop of 8.0 and an ISO of 3200. Even with an ISO of 3200 my shutter speed was only 320th of a second, less than half of what I would like it to be. On the bright side the birds didn't seem to mind the weather and the lighting was very even yielding several keepers besides this one.
Thanks Phil for the comments on "Bubbles" For the camera buffs out there that are inquiring about the equipment I use this shot was taken with one of my favorite lens setups. The Canon 300mm F4L with a Canon 1.4x extender. The longer the lens the greater the working distance from the subject. No scare and no smell.
I'm so sorry I'm a little slow, I've been at the skating rink most of the day and then I remembered you are having a very special day today, July 17, 2014.
So I'm running by, not figure skating, by to give you my wishes for A Very Happy Birthday a little late. Hope you enjoyed your special day with family and great friends
Thanks for comment on 'Mountain Flowers' Phil. You are definetely right about your suggestion. That day was so cloudy and light was not enough. I dont have a tripod too so I'm afraid of long shutter time. But i will try as soon as i have the chance :) Thanks.
Thanks for your kinds words about A Perfect October Day For A Hike I enjoy the beauty of the natural world and seeing animals in the wild more then man made stuff. You are a great duck and bird photographer which I stink at. A duck would have to be stuffed for me to take a decent pic. I am still hoping to see the rare Nene.
Hey man thanks for checking out my stuff and for the great words! that image was fun to make. You have a sizeable and quality gallery yourself, I love birds. Take care!
Children don't even get a discount so if you are not working forget it. thanks for looking at Nassau Pier notice I gave you half of my daily cred ration...ha
Hey there Mister Madman, wat'cha know that I don't know Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who runs this show Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away Tell me what made you that way
Hi Phil! Hope life has been treating you great!? Thanks for taking time to comment on my "Tree Hugger" photo. Yep...some melancholy moments can slip right up...
Hey there Mister Madman, wat'cha know that I don't know Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who runs this show Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away Tell me what made you that way
Thank you very much for your fave on my "Pelican" photo. Glad you like it. Much appreciated. This is a Pelecanus Crispus. There is a few families of population of this birds in İzmir Bay.
Thank you, Phil for leaving a nice comment and fave for "Venice Living." I ran the image through the Topaz Labs Impressions program. It makes me feel like the artist I always wanted to be.
Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
Hi Phil! Thanks for the fave of "River Tracks". Sometimes I sit on one of the park benches with my wife and watch the train go by and over the river. Early morning provides a great show of sunrise and senior citizens out for a stroll as well. We find so many interesting people who have a lifetime of stories to tell.
