hello Jeff, thanks for your comment on "The path" to answer your question I used a tool in photoshop called 'gradation layer'. it's very effective when you want to see quickly how a picture would look with different gradation applied to them. After, I usually use the 'blend mode' to see what different effect the gradation would have on the pic^^

Hi Jeff, Thanx for the comment. Yes we had good rain, and I think the brown colour is due to the rain we had about 3 days before I took that photo. I'm glad you like it.. as a matter of fact, i'm on my way to the same cascades right now. Hope to find a good shot there again.

Hi Jeff, thanks for stopping by "It Was Round"! I did increase the color saturation just a hair but he is real close to original color! Glad you got a kick out of it! Appreciate it!

Hi Jeff. Many thanks for the kind comment on'Church of the Holy Rude' I really appreciate it and am sorry it took me so long to let you know but I`ve been away for a week.
Cheers.
Ian :o)

Hey Jeff. Thanks for the comment on "you can't hide from me" Very appreciated

Hey Jeff, Thanks for your great comment on "A Splash of Color". I'm glad you like it. :-)

Hi thank you for your comment on twins

Fiesta was great! It's always so colorful and wild. I did snap several shots at the parade wich turned out better than I thought. I also snapped some at Niosa, it's the celebration at what was originally "downtown" when SA was founded. It's basically one huge party. Everyone wears beads and the women and girls wear coronas-crowns made of flowers...so of course I wore 2. I guess I am being shy about posting, which is new for me. I'm not usually shy or quiet about anything. But it's like letting someone see a part of me. You can tell alot about people through their art. Maybe soon...

By the way, you never said where that camera was.

Thanks Jeff for your comments on "The Wise One". I love taking images of birds; they’re fun to sneak up on.

However, I also have a motto when I do this: Do no harm!!

hi. you commented on my flower....i was wondering how to fix it, cause i tried to load it and everytime it would tell me it was the wrong size, so thats why it came out all squished. can you help?

Thanks for your comment on "Gate Way to the West"

Gotta go for now...put some steak on my eye!! This little guy really packs a wallop!!

love your pictures ! great job!

Yep, finally! I got a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 (I think-too lazy to go get it out my purse and check) which came with some bells and whistles. It's a good camera for a beginner like me. So, like I said, I've just been trying things out. I'll be going to my parents for the 4th of July and I should be able to get some good shots out on their property. Cross your fingers for me!

I forgot to thank you for stopping by and leaving your nice comments on my first post. Thanks!

Thanks for the wonderful comments on 'Hole in the sky'. The sky was really beautiful that day. These strom clouds were rolling in and the further I walked in one direction, the darker it got. But then looking in the other direction, the sky was still blue and sunny. It was like the sunny sky was being overtaken. I have another (broader) shot of this that I'll post later. Thanks again!
Jess

Glad "Through the hole in the sky" made you smile:) Thanks for the wonderful comments!

Hi Jeff,
Reference "Alligator Alley"...I love the Louisiana swampland. It is so photogenic with it's cypress trees and wildlife. This does resemble a painting, doesn't it? Thks for stopping by. I really appreciate it.

Thanks for stopping by "Bells of San Juan". Glad you liked it.

Thanks Jeff for stopping by "On a clear day". And thanks for the nice compliments:)

Thanks for the "Yum" comment on the Lamborghini photo!

Came across one of your posts in the voting both (high mark) and caused me to come visit your gallery. Adding you as friend because I liked what I saw and want to see future posts. Nice Job. Jas

Good to hear from you, Jeff. Thks for commenting on Sunrise. That was a special moment. I gotta ask you somthing...what is that thing your holding in your mouth in your avatar? It's had my curosity for a long while.
Pat

Ahh, now I see the camera....tricky shot :-) We need more audience-participation images :-)

Thanks for your comment on "Storm Cell"

Thanks for the comment on "Golden City Night". Froze my butt off taking those shots :) Fun going out at night & trying to find something interesting to shoot.

eej dude it's a lil bit late but thanks for the comment on sexy spider...thank you very much...gr evertjan

Thanx Jason for stoppin by "Death 1". Glad you liked my attempt at spooky, lol. My lil bro is actually 5ft 10in and only 15. Brat, he clears me by almost 4in already, lol.

Not in Bermuda but the Bahamas and British West Indies. It was a very long time ago, I was quite a bit younger, still a teen at the time. But I remember how that water looked. We flew over the triangle though :)

That's where to go for the HDR downloads. There is a free trial one and apparently people ignore the agreement about the little logo on their images. (Shhh) You'll see. I haven't had time to read the tutorial thoroughly yet so I didn't do so well on my first try. I'll get it though. It's not physics! lol!
Enjoy,
Lisa

Hey, my friend Jan reccomended to download Neat Image as well to clean up the HDR results. She says it does better than PhotoShpop. I think she's really talented. She was the first one to post a message on my profille if you wanted to see her gallery. It's well worth the look. Try to find... um, I think it was called Whitney Abby or something like that. Good HDR example. Gotta go now but will be back tonight. See ya!
'Lisa

Yes. It's me again. Hey thanks for your compliment and input on "Peaceful Early Morning" Yeah, I thought about waiting to post it after I figured out the HDR thing to add some drama to the sky but I have other shots from that same morning that I thought I'd do that to instead. I kinda liked the peaceful feel of it but I think maybe you were right. I could have at least adjusted the contrast and/or lighting in PhotoShop. I appreciate the observation, thanks that was helpful. :)
'Lisa

No there's a way to do a mock HDR with one photo. Go back and read the tutorial or article on the site.

Thanks for your comment. I really appreciated it. Your photographs are beautiful~

The Tiled Building is in Mexico City near the Pallacio del Bellas Artes (what street exactly I have no Idea but you can see the building from the Pallacio). As far as I know (which is very little)it was the only building of its kind in the area, but the entire area down to the Federal Square is filled with fascinating structures old and new.

Hey Jeff thanks for your constructive critisim. Upon further inspection the picture is very dark and could use some level adjustments. It's hard to tell when editing a picture from an LCD monitor. You look at it from the top and it's too light, look at from the bottom and it's too dark. That's why I like to stay with the old school shit. Thanks again, and stop by anytime.
Jay.

Hiya! XDD

Thanks Jeff. Good to hear from you. You have been sort of silent for a long while.

You are much to kind. Thks for commenting.

Hey Jeff! Thanks a bunch for your comments, vote and fav on "Driftwood Fence". You made my day! Grazie!

I Googled the golden-orbweaver and saw a picture of it eating a bird. I will keep as far away from it as possible.

Hi Jeff, thankyou for your comment on 'Red Sky at Night' i am glad you liked it. I didnt use the automatic settings on the camera but i didnt tweak them too much. The automatic settings made the sky look much too bright and lost the colour of the sky so i speeded up the exposure time to let less light in and therefore make the picture darker. That way i got the darker feel, more intense colours and more dramatic windmill silouette :)

Hey,
Thanks for your comment on "Puppy Dog Eyes"
Much appreciated.
